Our approach to research is rooted in the university history department. Our team is at home in the dusty stacks of libraries and document archives, and fluent in the use of all electronic databases. Years ago we built a nationwide network of researchers to ensure we could meet client needs in a timely, cost effective manner.

We systematically assess all historical dimensions of an issue and search widely to gain an understanding for "who knew what when," what was debatable and what was unknowable. Our discoveries have influenced the development of trial strategies, and helped discredit expert opinions and defeat conspiracy claims. Experts use our comprehensive research to develop their own defensible opinions. We maintain our own document archive and library in the areas of social welfare policy, asbestos regulation and pharmaceutical pricing.

We are often called upon to conduct "state of the art" research on questions of health policy, and provide summaries of the development of knowledge across time. Such issues often bear on damage calculations in healthcare business disputes, or the formulation of government policymaking.
