The forensic and investigative accounting firm of Matson, Driscoll & Damico will become sponsors for the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial & Insurance Practice (TIPS) Section, effective August 2007.

As a Section sponsor, MD&D’s goal will be to assist members of the Fidelity & Surety, Products, General Liability & Consumer Law, Toxic Torts & Environmental Law and Property as they develop and conduct relevant continuing education seminars and Section newsletters. MD&D also will offer research assistance on various forensic accounting matters.

We have greatly enjoyed our previous relationship with MD&D and look forward to working together even more closely. Our goal is to create a relationship that benefits both MD&D and the members of TIPS."
