Litigation Support

At Level Ten Consulting Group, our litigation support specialists have extensive experience in providing expert witness testimony in connection with commercial litigation. 

As an objective, credible, and independent source, our firm provides extensive litigation support services based on the factual presentation of economic issues related to existing or pending litigation.

We work collaboratively with legal counsel, combining our knowledge and experience with their legal expertise to develop the best strategy to accomplish the objective. We restrict our participation in this area to those subjects for which our expertise is substantial, thereby maximizing the opportunity for success for the party we represent.

• Contract breach and damage claims

• Disputes with organized labor

• Preference issues in bankruptcy

• Fraudulent conveyances

• Intellectual property theft

From shareholder disputes and contract breaches to bankruptcy proceedings, we are able to express complex financial issues in a clear and succinct manner, quantify damages sustained by parties involved in the legal dispute, and assist in resolving them.

Expert Testimony

In many cases our professionals are asked to provide expert testimony.  Our professionals are highly regarded as expert witnesses for their experience, subject knowledge, and clear and concise presentation of material.

We are skilled communicators with years of experience testifying before judges, juries, and arbitrators on a variety of complex commercial litigation matters.  Jeff Gillesse has been accepted into the prestigious Thomson Reuters Westlaw Roundtable Group of qualified expert witnesses.

​

Board of Directors Advising

Board of directors advising is the shaping, structuring, and strategic planning of an effective board. We help identify goals and needs of the organization and the executive director in order to strategically build, evaluate, and further develop an existing board. This process ensures that necessary seats are filled with people who share vision and provide diverse resources to fulfill the ultimate goals of the organization.

 

When it comes to a healthy Board of Directors, we focus on

• A varied set of skills and backgrounds

• Resource Development

• Diversity

• Clear Roles and Job Descriptions

• Training

​

Business Assessments

Frequently, a senior secured lender, shareholder, creditor, or other third party may wish to have an assessment made of an enterprise.  The purposes vary, but the objective is usually to evaluate whether or how changes must be made to improve an existing situation.

An abbreviated assessment may be the first course of action we may take in many situations in which some level of professional help is necessary.  In this situation, the evaluation may be limited to only obvious or known critical areas of concern so that time and expense is minimized and fast-paced decision-making is achieved.

In-depth assessments can be performed when critical decisions are necessary and the circumstances are complex.  An assessment of this nature may explore all areas of management, labor force, operations, sales and marketing strategies, purchasing, financial, and administration.  The expertise deployed is commensurate with the specific requirements and particulars of the situation at hand.

All assessments conclude with a report appropriate to the scope of work, along with recommendations for accomplishing agreed-upon objectives.

​

Human Resource Assistance

Successful organizations realize that human capital is their most important asset. Discovering and aligning individual talent, skill-sets and contributions best serves the organization as a whole. We help gain clarity and maximize the linking of processes, people and performance.

 

This is best achieved through building deliberate focus into

• Management Development and Coaching

• Leadership (Board of Directors) Development and Coaching

• Equitable Performance Appraisal Systems

• Organizational Culture, Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Assessment

• Effective Employee Onboarding and Continued Education Programs

• Defined Objectives, Goals, Vision, and Mission for individuals, Departments and The Organization

• Effective Communication Systems and Growth Encouragement

 

An internal reflection into the differing demographics forces organizations to explore the realities of what “drives” employee groups. Organizations are becoming increasingly more aware that the list of what motivates and engages employees are an ever changing target. Interestingly, money is no longer a driver at the top of the list. Let Level Ten work with you to build your talent pool through effective Human Resource strategy, development and alignment.

​

Employee Assistance Coaching

The realities of creating a healthy work environment and workforce can be extremely daunting. We realize that you are the expert at what you do, and it typically isn't caring for employees' needs inside or outside the office. Our goal is to take care of you while you take care of business.

We offer a Employee Assistance Program to assist you through difficult circumstances by providing as much encouragement, support, and direction as you need.

 

Our wide variety of experience in coaching and human resources can

• 1. Help you and your employees navigate workplace goals and relationships

• 2. Deal with problems at home regarding children or marriage

• 3. Address personal struggles like identity, health, addiction, or spirituality.

 

Our strategic partnerships allow for access to a diverse group of employee assistance coaches to fit your company's needs.

Employee Assistance Coaching is a relatively new, but growing, concept as organizations are realizing it’s better to provide support to employees and keep them as assets rather than experiencing with employee turnover. Typically your employees need help and either don't know where to start or don't feel they have time to make it a priority. By bringing in a employee assistance coach to create a regular presence in the workplace, your employees will experience the value you have for them. You will see return on investment based on how much more available your employees are for accomplishing their goals with a clear mind and regular short-term accountability for long-term company benefit.

 

Companies that have invested in a employee assistance program have reported the following

• Quality improvements of 30-40%

• Grievance reductions of 90%

• Turnover reductions of 50%

• Employee satisfaction improvements of 80%

• Safety/compliance improvements of 40-60%

There are more stats than we can list regarding improved performance, less sick time off, better relationships and cooperation, and less turnover. Don't wait, get started today...the reward outweighs the commitment and cost.

​

DISC Assessment

This is essentially a CAT scan for how you function at work. We use the best-in-industry scientific data when it comes to DISC assessments. Needless to say, this is way more than an assessment…It is a new way of understanding self, teams, and customers.

Not all DISC assessments are created equal. With our assessments you will receive information about behavior style, motivators and driving forces, and key competencies.

 

Results of a DISC Assessment

• Become a more effective communicator

• Avoid significant communication breakdowns

• Adjust assumptions

• Limit errors that can be costing you resources (i.e. money, time, materials).

• Highlight individual strengths

• Mitigate individual weaknesses

 

This is the cheapest, quickest, and simplest way to see immediate ROI on your coaching/consulting investment.
