Descriptiontext

Secretariat International is a privately held professional services firm specializing in independent expert witness testimony, litigation consulting, and economic advisory services. Founded in 2008 and operating through its legal entity Secretariat Advisors, LLC, the firm is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional U.S. offices in San Francisco and El Segundo (Los Angeles). It employs 700+ experts and advisors and has completed more than 10,000 engagements across 6 continents, with 80% of its work originating from the Top 100 Global Law Firms. The firm has held the No. 1 ranking in the Global Arbitration Review Expert Witness Firms' Power Index for three consecutive years (2024, 2025, 2026).

The firm's offering is organized across 17 specialized service lines, including Antitrust & Competition, Construction Defect/Delay/Quantum, Damages & Valuations, Digital Forensics & eDiscovery, Engineering Sciences, Forensic Accounting, Intellectual Property, International Arbitration, M&A, Securities & Finance, and Data Analytics & Strategy. Service delivery is grounded in multi-disciplinary expert teams that produce economic analyses, damages calculations, forensic accounting investigations, and courtroom testimony in complex disputes, international arbitrations, and regulatory proceedings. Notable engagements include securing an approximately $811 million award for Fortis Advisors in a life sciences M&A earnout dispute, recovering over $131 million for Lockheed Martin from the U.S. Air Force, and supporting a $577 million DOJ cryptocurrency fraud prosecution.

Revenue is generated on an engagement-based, quote-driven professional services model with multi-year contract cadence, tailored to the specific scope and complexity of each litigation or arbitration matter. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by direct relationships with top global law firms, complemented by corporate and government engagements (including the SEC and DOJ). Marketing is largely content-led through the Economists Ink publication, the AI Insights Hub, and industry rankings rather than paid acquisition. The firm has executed at least one strategic acquisition (Economists Incorporated in July 2021) to deepen its economics bench, and remains founder- and management-controlled with no disclosed external equity investors or funding rounds.
