Kahn Named President Of Litigation, Claims Management Firm

FTI Consulting, Inc., a litigation and claims management consulting firm, says it has appointed Stewart Kahn to the position of president. Jack Dunn remains as chairman and chief executive officer of FTI.

The company also announced that Gary Sindler has resigned as chief financial officer of FTI to pursue other opportunities. Sindler is expected to remain with FTI through January 1999 and a search for his successor is currently underway.

In 1989, Kahn founded Kahn Consulting, which was acquired by FTI in September 1998. Prior to that, he served as a supervisory partner at Arthur Andersen & Co. from 1981 to 1989, where he helped initiate, grow, manage and lead a worldwide litigation support practice. Kahn was named partner at Arthur Andersen & Co. in 1977.

As president of FTI, Kahn will oversee further development of the company's three primary areas of business: Litigation Services, led by Pat Brady, who will also continue as chief operating officer of FTI; Applied Sciences, led by Glenn Baker, who joined FTI upon its acquisition of S.E.A., Inc. in September 1998; and Expert Financial Services, led by Barry Monheit, who also joined FTI with the acquisition of Kahn Consulting. Kahn will be based in FTI's New York City office, but will also work out of the company's Annapolis, MD headquarters.

Dunn said, "With Stewart focused on FTI's internal growth, I will now be able to concentrate on the Company's external growth, including exploring new business opportunities and further solidifying FTI's relationships with clients, vendors, and investors. We believe that the pieces are now in place for FTI to achieve its vision of becoming a fully integrated, nationally positioned litigation services and consulting firm."

Dunn added, "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Gary Sindler for his significant contributions to FTI Consulting. We are sorry to see him go and wish him every success in his future endeavors."
