1. A real estate developer was given a large warrant position in a public company in exchange for concession in a lease agreement. Subsequently, the company forced conversion of the warrant in violation of the terms of the warrant agreement. The expert's role was to determine the value of the warrant lost in the forced conversion process. 2. A hedge fund used an options arbitrage strategy with great success until it moved from one prime broker to another. The new prime broker, part of a top 5 investment bank, erratically miscalculated margin requirements and forced closure of large options investment positions. This caused large losses and the dispute was brought to arbitration. His role was to calculate margin requirements according to the margin rules the broker was supposed to use.
