| Earnings Per Common Share | 2. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share adjust basic earnings per share for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include the dilutive effects of shares issuable under our equity compensation plans, including stock options and restricted stock, and shares issuable upon the potential conversion of our 3 3/4% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2012 (“Convertible Notes”) prior to their maturity on July 15, 2012 and payment in full on July 16, 2012 assuming the conversion premium was converted into common stock based on the average closing price per share of our stock during the period, each using the treasury stock method. The conversion feature of our Convertible Notes had a dilutive effect on our earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the average closing price per share of our common stock for such periods was above the conversion price of the Convertible Notes of $31.25 per share.

ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. If the entity determines, on the basis of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it will not be required to perform a quantitative impairment test for that asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

We enter into these derivative contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes by achieving a desired proportion of fixed rate versus variable rate debt. Accordingly, to achieve the desired mix of fixed and floating interest rate debt, we entered into four interest rate swap agreements in March 2011, which we designated as fair value hedges of our 7 3/4% senior notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”). Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we received interest on the $215.0 million notional amount at a fixed rate of 7 3/4% and paid a variable rate of interest, which varied between 5.43% and 5.56% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The variable rate was based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the benchmark interest rate. The maturity, payment dates and other critical terms of these swaps exactly matched those of the hedged 2016 Notes. These interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting using the short-cut method under ASC 815-20-25, Derivatives and Hedging, which assumes no hedge ineffectiveness. As a result, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the changes in fair value of the hedged debt were assumed to be equal and offsetting.
On December 16, 2011, we negotiated the right to terminate the interest rate swap agreements. Upon termination of these interest rate swap agreements we received cash proceeds of approximately $6.6 million, including $1.0 million of accrued interest. The net proceeds of $5.6 million have been recorded in “Long-term debt and capital lease obligations” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the 2016 Notes, resulting in an effective interest rate of 7.1% per annum. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, $0.8 million of the net proceeds have been amortized as a reduction of interest expense, with a remaining balance of $4.8 million at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, we had no derivative instruments. Fair Value of Financial Instruments We consider the recorded value of certain of our financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, based on the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. The fair value of our long-term debt at September 30, 2012 was $747 million compared to a carrying value of $718 million. At December 31, 2011, the fair value of our long-term debt was $882 million compared to a carrying value of $815 million. We determine the fair value of our long-term debt primarily based on quoted market prices for our 2016 Notes, 6 3/4% senior notes due 2020 and Convertible Notes. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, because it is traded in less active markets. At December 31, 2011, the carrying value of long-term debt includes the $18.0 million equity component of our Convertible Notes which is recorded in “Additional paid-in capital” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our Convertible Notes matured on July 15, 2012 and were paid in full on July 16, 2012. For business combinations consummated on or after January 1, 2009, we estimate the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of our acquisition-related contingent consideration are our measures of the future profitability and related cash flows and discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumptions used for the discount rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value measurement and a change in the assumptions used for the future cash flows is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value measurement. During the second quarter of 2012, management determined that the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability had declined. This remeasurement of the contingent consideration was based on management’s probability-adjusted present value of the consideration expected to be transferred during the remainder of the earnout period, based on the acquired operations’ forecasted results. The resulting reduction in the liability of $4.1 million is recorded as income and is included within “Acquisition-related contingent consideration” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. There were no remeasurement gains or losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Accretion expense for acquisition-related contingent consideration totaled $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
The following table represents the change in the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

| Acquisitions | 8. Acquisitions In October 2012, we completed an acquisition in Australia for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. In advance of the acquisition closing, we transferred a portion of the purchase price in the amount of $1.2 million in cash to a third party in September 2012. This purchase price advance is included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Other assets” and is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows within “Other investing activities.” The purchase price includes initial consideration with an approximate value of $25 million plus acquisition-related contingent consideration, which is payable annually through December 31, 2017 if the acquired business meets certain performance measures, and is subject to an approximate $16 million aggregate cap. The results of the acquired business will be included in our consolidated results of operations beginning on October 2, 2012, the date of the completion of the acquisition, and therefore are not included in our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We are currently evaluating the fair values of the consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In March 2012, we completed an acquisition in the United States for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment. The acquisition price of $3.1 million consisted of $2.0 million in cash and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration is recorded in “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As part of the purchase price allocation, we recorded $0.9 million in identifiable intangible assets and $2.2 million in goodwill. In March 2011, we completed acquisitions of certain practices of LECG Corporation (“LECG”) in Europe, the United States and Latin America with services relating to those provided through our Economic Consulting, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, and Corporate Finance/Restructuring segments. The acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred is approximately $30.0 million, which consisted of $27.1 million of cash paid at the closings of these acquisitions and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $2.9 million. As part of the purchase price allocation, we recorded an aggregate of $24.2 million of accounts receivable, $6.3 million of identifiable intangible assets, $20.6 million of assumed liabilities and $14.8 million of goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets consisted of customer relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 12.4 years. Aggregate acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.5 million have been recognized in earnings in 2011. Certain acquisition-related restricted stock agreements entered into prior to January 1, 2009 contain stock price guarantees that may result in cash payments in the future if our share price falls below a specified per share market value on the date that the applicable stock restrictions lapse (the “determination date”). For those acquisitions, the future settlement of any contingency related to our common stock price will be recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid $3.6 million in cash in relation to the stock price guarantees on certain shares of common stock that became unrestricted, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not make any stock price guarantee payments during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our remaining common stock price guarantee provisions have stock floor prices that range from $54.33 to $69.48 per share and have determination dates through 2013. |

| Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are as follows:
Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For intangible assets with finite lives, we recorded amortization expense of $5.8 million and $16.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $5.8 million and $16.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Based solely on the amortizable intangible assets recorded as of September 30, 2012, we estimate amortization expense to be $5.6 million during the remainder of 2012, $20.4 million in 2013, $11.9 million in 2014, $10.9 million in 2015, $9.3 million in 2016, $8.6 million in 2017, and $31.8 million in years after 2017. Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of new intangible asset acquisitions, finalization of asset valuations for newly acquired assets, changes in useful lives, change in value due to foreign currency translation, or other factors.
We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter. We also consider factors that could trigger an interim impairment review. Through our assessment, we determined that there were no events or circumstances that more likely than not would reduce the fair value of any of our reporting units below their carrying value. Accordingly, we did not perform an interim impairment test. |
