ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On February 18, 2011, FTI Consulting, Inc. (FTI) issued a press release confirming that it is in discussions with LECG Corporation (“LECG”) on the possible acquisition of several specific practice groups within LECG but not an acquisition of the entire firm. No definitive agreement has been entered into with respect to the transactions under discussion, and accordingly no assurance can be given that any agreement will be signed or any practice group will be acquired. FTI Consulting does not intend to make any further announcements or communications regarding discussions with LECG until either a definitive agreement has been reached or discussions are terminated without any agreement being reached.

The press release has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The information included herein, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference language in any such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward Looking Statement

This Report contains forward-looking statements as defined by The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The terms “explore,” “evaluate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Actual events may differ materially from those discussed by any forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, the uncertainties related to the consummation of any acquisition or other factors relating to any business that is the subject of discussions. Any forward-looking statements represent our discussions only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our discussions as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if factors change.
