Mr. Gottlieb is the Director of Forensic and Litigation Support Services at MSG, where he oversees forensic accounting investigations, business valuations, and economic damages analyses in complex commercial and matrimonial disputes. Mr. Gottlieb brings an unusual combination of credentials to this work: he is both a licensed attorney and a certified public accountant, which gives him a fluency in both the financial analysis and the litigation process that most forensic consultants simply do not have. Mr. Gottlieb's work covers the full scope of the firm’s litigation support practice. He conducts and supervises business valuations of closely held companies, prepares economic damages calculations in commercial disputes, and leads forensic investigations involving allegations of fraud, asset dissipation, and financial misreporting. Mr. Gottlieb also plays a central role in expert report preparation, deposition and trial support, and the development of rebuttal analyses targeting opposing experts’ methodologies and conclusions. He has provided expert testimony and lectures regularly on financial and tax matters in divorce litigation, presenting to organizations including the American Bar Association, BARBRI, the Suffolk County Bar Association, and Strafford Webinars.
