Assures FTI handling of client data meets adequacy standard required by the European Directive on Data Protection

Baltimore, MD - August 14, 2007
FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today announced its compliance with the Safe Harbor framework developed by the US Department of Commerce and the European Commission governing the handling of European Union personal data.

Certifying to the Safe Harbor assures EU organizations and governing entities that a US company comprehends and has implemented adequate personal data privacy protections. The certification also in most cases eliminates the need for prior approval to begin data transfers between the EU and US, and in all cases ensures prompt approval of such transfer from the data protection authorities in EU member states.

“The Safe Harbor certification enables FTI to swiftly respond to our clients' often time-sensitive data collection, processing and analysis requirements on multinational matters that regularly involve data from Europe, the United States and other countries,” said Craig Earnshaw, managing director in the European technology practice at FTI Consulting. “With this certification and where appropriate to a matter, FTI will be able to transfer data from the EU to our US offices to take advantage of the additional data processing capacity without undue delay. Likewise, our US team will be able to access EU-hosted data to aid in client support more quickly.”

The European Commission's Directive on Data Protection prohibits the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area to nations that do not meet the EU standard for privacy protection. Approved by the EU in 2000, the Safe Harbor provides a streamlined means for US organizations to comply with EU data standards for protecting personal data privacy and improve service to their clients in the EU.

“The Safe Harbor certification is recognition of the level of care and the degree of security that FTI has in place to protect the sensitive and confidential data that is entrusted to us for processing and hosting by our global network of clients,” said David Remnitz, senior managing director and technology segment leader at FTI Consulting.

Organizations voluntarily certify to the Safe Harbor, and must re-certify annually. For more information on the Safe Harbor and for a list of certified organizations, please visit: http://web.ita.doc.gov/safeharbor/shlist.nsf/webPages/safe+harbor+list
