With team members located around the globe, coming together matters. We recently gathered for a virtual holiday party to celebrate the holiday season. The event included a fun holiday game and a photo contest, where team members shared their best holiday moments. It was a great way to connect, share some laughs, and celebrate the season as one team. Here’s a look at the holiday photo contest winners for 2025.
This holiday season, YA Group had the opportunity to support 75 foster children by purchasing gifts to help make their holidays a little brighter. These moments capture the incredible social workers and volunteers from Madison County, Illinois, and Crawford County who helped wrap and prepare each gift with care. Their dedication makes this effort possible, and we’re grateful to play a small part alongside them.
We’re excited to share that YA Group has acquired InQuis Global, LLC, a multi-service expert witness and consulting firm specializing in life care planning, life expectancy consulting, vocational rehabilitation, wage loss analysis, and litigation support. This acquisition expands YA Group’s Accident Reconstruction & Biomechanics capabilities and creates a more fully integrated, end-to-end litigation consulting offering. It strengthens our ability to support complex accident-related matters from cause and injury validation through employability assessment and long-term economic impact analysis. Together, our teams will deliver coordinated, multidisciplinary insight to law firms and insurance carriers nationwide, creating a more seamless experience for clients navigating high-stakes litigation.
YA Group continues to expand the depth and precision of our engineering services. We’re pleased to welcome 20 highly skilled professionals to our Engineering Services group, significantly strengthening our capabilities in materials analysis, laboratory services, and product testing. This multidisciplinary team, including materials scientists, chemists, engineers, technicians, and fire investigators, enhances our ability to deliver clear, defensible technical conclusions across complex losses. Alongside this growth, we’ve added a 25,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art laboratory facility near Seattle. Equipped with advanced, calibrated testing equipment and dedicated evidence storage space, the facility allows us to conduct on-site material analysis, product testing, and lab examinations, delivering a fully integrated, end-to-end forensic solution. This investment reinforces our commitment to providing industry-leading, mission-critical services and delivering a decisive advantage for clients nationwide.
Our team had a great week at the Property & Liability Resource Bureau (PLRB) Claims Conference. We enjoyed connecting with colleagues across the industry, sharing insight across disciplines, and hearing from experts throughout the event. We kicked off the week by hosting an opening reception and wrapped up after a full few days of conversations, sessions, and time spent with peers across the industry, including sessions attended and led by YA Group team members.
YA Group is pleased to announce the creation of a dedicated Forensic Accounting group, further expanding our services for law firms and insurers building on the firm’s commitment to providing industry-leading, mission-critical services to its clients. The new group is supported by a team of professionals joining YA from LFI Forensic Accounting, a globally recognized forensic accounting and financial investigations firm. The addition of the new professionals complements YA’s existing building consulting and forensic engineering services, further expanding the firm’s offering to include new capabilities in insurance claims accounting, forensic accounting and corruption investigations, litigation disputes, risk mitigation, anti-fraud, corporate compliance and loss prevention. The new group reflects the firm’s continued investment in building a comprehensive, multidisciplinary service offering designed to address the increasing complexity of litigation, insurance claims, and financial disputes. We’re excited to bring these new service offerings to our clients, and to welcome the newly created Forensic Accounting team to the YA family.
