“I have used the services of Valere since 2011.  Each time my team and I were impressed by the breadth of testifying expert options presented given the fairly narrow search mandate we had laid out.  Moreover, the assistance supplied by the firm extended well beyond the search effort.  Its partners and consultants were not only able to help the testifying expert deliver his report on time with the technical and administrative support required but also at times provided significant forensic support during the discovery process.”

“Our firm had engaged Valere on a several occasions over the last few years and consequently I came to know of them through an internal recommendation. We had been looking for a while, without much success, for an expert with experience in a very niche area of financial markets. Once instructed, Valere were from the outset able to make a number of very relevant recommendations and provided valuable and insightful assistance throughout the process”

“We hired Valere as consultants in a large cross-border regulatory investigation and subsequent potential criminal proceedings. The two partners who assisted us worked well with each other and with us and provided invaluable insight in very complex derivatives trading issues. Their technical market knowledge was first-class, and their forensic assistance was key in helping us understand the bigger picture.”

“Valere has been engaged on behalf of our clients on multiple occasions in the recent past. They have shown particular strength in assisting with large multi-jurisdictional investigations, where their consultants’ in-depth market experience can help us manage the various technical issues that inevitably arise. We have also used Valere to identify testifying experts for complex cross-border banking proceedings, with Valere identifying authoritative solutions in a matter of hours. The quality of the output of the individuals identified has been excellent.”

“We engaged Valere to assist us with sourcing suitably qualified experts for a high value international arbitration, subject to HKIAC administered arbitration rules. On short notice, Valere identified two highly qualified subject matter experts who were able to deliver detailed and supportive reports on highly complex and niche trade finance credit and trade credit insurance issues within the commodities sector and within a very tight time frame and within budget. Crucial to this process was the continuing ‘hands on’ support which Valere provided both to us and to the experts to ensure that everybody was working collaboratively under significant time pressure. This support from the beginning to the end of the case, made managing a large complex international arbitration much easier than might otherwise have been the case. I would have no hesitation ecommending Valere.”

“I have had a very positive experience with Simon. He was diligent and thorough in the preparation of his expert report. He worked effectively with other experts and was able to significantly advance the analysis of the substantive issues of the case. I would certainly work with him again and recommend him”.

“Valere Capital consistently acts as an impressive source for potential experts across a wide range of banking and finance-related disputes. The candidates put forward are invariably highly authoritative, and able to command the respect of their peers on the other side, as well as the court or tribunal. The additional support and assistance Valere is able to provide to its experts during the process also helps enormously in ensuring their experts are able to produce high-quality, compelling expert reports in a timely fashion.”

“[Valere Capital provided] one of the best expert reports we had read; written with clear logic, literate, scrupulously fair, and not least, delivered on deadline.”

“We asked Valere Capital to advise one of our banking clients. Valere Capital was asked to:
– provide a mid-market valuation of a complex CMS spread range accrual swap;
– assess bid-offer spreads on interest rates and volatility in stressed market conditions;
– evaluate the correlation risk between the 2y and 10y forward swap rates and the model risk on the specific trade;
– calculate the credit valuation adjustment for the counterparty in question.
We found the analysis to be very detailed and insightful. Valere’s technical knowledge with regards to complex derivatives proved critical when negotiating on behalf of our client; without their analysis, our client would have achieved a much different result. Valere was very professional throughout the project, provided useful support during conference calls and provided their work in a very timely manner.”

“Valere is consistently able to find experts in areas where other expert consulting firms strike out.”
