Founder, CEO
Michael T. Lewis, CFA
Having given over 75 depositions and testified in more than 25 courtroom and arbitration hearings, Michael pairs an effective presentation style with expert technical skills to provide the trier of fact the knowledge, tools and models to perform their duty. At MTL Consultants, Michael has found the perfect platform, one that allows him to be extremely hands-on and intimate with every part of every case. In the heat of the battle, that translates into clarity of vision and strategic insights his clients have come to count on.
Prior to founding MTL Consultants, Michael gained valuable experience in several different roles that have resulted in a unique set of skills and expertise. Most recently, he was the Managing Partner of the Denver Offices of RubinBrown, a top 100 Accounting/Consulting Firm where his leadership and strategic abilities helped their recently-started Denver office grow to more than 100 team members. Michael also served in the role of Partner in Charge of Business Advisory Services for RubinBrown for over ten years.
Michael began his litigation support and forensic career with Arthur Andersen, where he was a Senior Manager in the Economic and Financial Consulting Group in St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to his Big Four stint, Michael started his career with the Comptroller of the Currency at the Treasury Department as a National Bank Examiner. It was here that Michael found his calling in solving complex issues; from exotic securities to community bank lending practices, he traveled from coast to coast working with and learning from some of the biggest and best minds in the banking industry in the 1990’s. It was also during this time Michael acquired his CFA and MBA credentials.
From his first deposition over 20 years ago to today, Michael thrives on helping clients dig through the minutiae, the models and the mind-numbing to come up with solutions that make cases stronger and more credible. Paired with his strong ability to present ideas cogently and dispassionately, he plays a key role in helping his clients clearly establish their positions and solve for success.
