Baltimore, MD - October 11, 2006

FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN), the leading global consulting firm to organizations confronting the critical legal, financial and reputational issues that shape their futures, today announced that it has acquired Brower, Kriz & Stynchcomb (“BKS”) and G3 Consulting (“G3”).

Jack Dunn, FTI's president and chief executive officer, commented: “We are excited to welcome BKS and G3 to FTI, and these purchases are in keeping with our stated acquisition strategy. These are excellent companies that expand our capabilities to take advantage of related market opportunities. BKS brings unparalleled experience in the domestic and international construction industry to our Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment. G3's overall experience leveraging technology on behalf of clients not only further extends our capabilities in the UK, but also fits well with the needs of our newly-acquired Financial Dynamics client base.”

Brower, Kriz & Stynchcomb (“BKS”)

BKS is a privately-held, 31-person construction consulting firm based in Maryland specializing in critical path method schedule development, technical schedule review and progress evaluation, and will be an integral part of FTI's ability to provide a comprehensive construction industry dispute, litigation and investigations service. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $11.5 million, payable through a combination of cash and restricted shares of FTI's common stock, plus the opportunity for future contingent consideration based on specified financial objectives over the next five years. BKS revenues for 2006 are anticipated to be approximately $8.1 million. The three key BKS principals, Barry Brower, Jarad Kriz and Paul Stynchcomb have joined FTI and have signed five year employment agreements.

Barry Brower said: “Joining with FTI is a major forward step for us. It offers us a broader range of client opportunities as well as providing FTI's clients in the construction industry with deep service capability.”

G3 Consulting (“G3”)

Privately-held G3 Consulting (“G3”) is a UK-based, six-person organization that delivers technology and business consulting to UK clients facing corporate litigation, electronic disclosure and public inquiries, that FTI acquired for approximately $2.5 million through a combination of cash and restricted shares of FTI's common stock. For the past six years G3 has served as the primary direct UK supplier of FTI's Ringtail Legal products, as well as provided associated Application Service Provider (“ASP”) and professional and consulting services. G3 also brings extensive experience in the area of electronic disclosure, having advised the UK's top law firms and corporate legal departments on how best to increase the speed, efficiency and quality of their electronic review using web based tools.

Andrew Kennell, a Director of G3, said: “G3 has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with FTI Ringtail. Joining forces with FTI's team is the natural progression to being able to provide a wider range of services and support to our clients.”
