Reinaldo Scannone manages DAC Consulting Services' Dispute Advisory practice across the Americas, with a focus on the United States, Canada and Latin America. Based in Greater Montreal, he works with law firms, in-house counsel, insurers, owners and contractors to define technical issues, identify and engage the right DAC expert, and assemble multidisciplinary teams for litigation, international arbitration and major insurance claims.
