Managing Director Charlie Warren explores the impact of consumer boycotts on M&A in Southeast Asia in Deal Street Asia’s latest article, Beyond the Buyout.
Across disciplines, regions, and industries, Secretariat’s highly-credentialed, collaborative engineering and scientific experts apply technical excellence and creativity to meet today’s most complex challenges.
Metals, plastics, composites, and other engineering materials are foundational to modern life. While these materials perform critical roles, they sometimes fail or are at risk of failure. Secretariat’s engineers and scientists specialize in understanding why. Our industry-recognized experts conduct investigations into material failures, product design, regulatory inquiries, and disputes. We identify root causes such as design defects, human error, manufacturing nonconformances, nonconformance with codes and standards, or inadequate overall processes. Combining this technical analysis with financial and damages expertise, our Secretariat team uniquely integrates engineering, delay analysis, and financial insights to assess damages.
Engineering failures can occur in a wide range of environments, often raising concerns about safety, property damage, and business interruptions. Our team of professional engineers, scientists, and industry specialists conducts comprehensive failure analyses, investigations, risk assessments, and performance evaluations. We excel in identifying root causes, evaluating impacts, and presenting our findings in clear terms for key stakeholders such as arbitrators, judges, and juries. Supported by a renowned team of accounting and valuation experts, Secretariat offers an integrated approach to assess both technical and financial aspects of mechanical engineering failures.

The Future of eDiscovery: Generative AI’s Impact
Generative AI is transforming eDiscovery, reshaping legal document review with greater efficiency and scalability. But as with predictive coding, technology alone is not enough. Human expertise remains essential to ensure accuracy, mitigate bias, and uphold ethical standards.
The 2025 Artificial Intelligence Report, conducted by Secretariat in collaboration with ACEDS, has revealed groundbreaking insights into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal industry. With a focus on Generative AI (GenAI) and its increasing integration into legal workflows, the survey provides essential data for organizations navigating the future of legal practice and technology. Now in its third year, the report’s research and analysis was once again led by legal AI expert Richard Finkelman in collaboration with ACEDS. This year also marks the first partnership with Secretariat to sponsor this comprehensive study.
