Baker Tilly slammed by $50 million jury verdict Hit with a $50 million verdict for negligence, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause LLP is suing its insurance carrier for refusing to cover most of the damages — two troubling developments for an accounting firm with revenue of $259 million for the year ended May 31. The Wisconsin county court jury verdict, and the two-plus years of litigation leading up to it, already has slowed Baker Tilly's expansion plans, industry consultant Allan Koltin said. He predicts the verdict, reached in late May, will be overturned on appeal but added, “If they lost it, it would put them in jeopardy.” [Crain's, Earlier]
