They assess whether termination decisions were consistent with company policy, whether the stated reason for termination was pretextual, and whether the employer followed a fair and consistent process. These experts draw on extensive HR leadership experience to opine on industry-standard employment practices and whether the employer's conduct deviated from accepted norms.
