In re the Marriage of Kenneth C. Griffin

Compass Lexecon Senior Consultant Professor Bradford Cornell was retained by counsel for Kenneth Griffin to address key valuation issues in Mr. Griffin’s divorce proceeding. Professor Cornell’s analyses involved, among other things, the estimation of Ken Griffin’s net worth, including the value of his majority stake in the hedge fund, Citadel. Professor Cornell submitted two expert reports and testified twice by deposition. The case settled on the eve of the trial. Compass Lexecon worked with Sean Gallagher and J.B. Heaton of Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott LLP and Chad Schafer of Sidley Austin LLP. Professor Cornell was supported by a team in our Pasadena office that included Peter Clayburgh, Marc Huntley and Keming Liang.
