Scope
What Ted does not do.
Clear limits save time for counsel and keep opinions defensible.
- Ted does not provide legal advice and is not counsel for any party.
- Ted does not hold himself out as a business valuation or business appraisal expert.
- Ted does not hold himself out as a molecular genetics or plant-genetics laboratory expert; specialized genetic evaluation may require another expert.
- Ted is not a CPA, forensic accountant or economist. Economic-loss work stays within crop value, production loss, market pricing and lost revenue.
- Scope is determined by the facts and issues of each engagement, and matters outside his experience are declined early.
