Frequently Asked Questions

What does a hedging expert witness do?

A hedging expert witness provides independent analysis of financial and physical hedging strategies used to manage price, volume, or credit risk in commodity and energy markets. They examine whether hedging activities were designed, executed, and monitored in accordance with accepted industry practice, and explain complex derivative or risk management concepts clearly to courts and arbitral tribunals.

What types of disputes require hedging expertise?

Hedging expert witnesses commonly assist in matters such as:

  • Mis‑hedging or unhedged exposure claims

  • Disputes over hedge accounting treatment or valuation

  • Margin call and collateral disputes

  • Alleged breach of risk policy or trading mandate
