Special Charges | 4. Special Charges During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded special charges totaling $29.6 million, of which $5.0 million was non-cash. The charges reflect actions we took to realign our workforce to address current business demands and global macro-economic conditions impacting our Forensic and Litigation Consulting, Strategic Communications and Technology segments, to address certain targeted practices within our Corporate Finance/Restructuring and Economic Consulting segments, and to reduce excess real estate capacity. These actions included the termination of 116 employees, the consolidation of leased office space within nine office locations and certain other actions. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an adjustment to the special charge recorded in 2012 of approximately $0.4 million, primarily related to the consolidation of office spaces previously vacated. These charges reflect the changes to sublease terms and associated costs for those locations for which actual subleases have been entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as well as the impact of updated forecasts of expected sublease income and employee termination costs. The following table details the special charge adjustments by segment for the quarter ended Mach 31, 2013:
Corporate Finance/Restructuring |  | $ | 68 |
Forensic and Litigation Consulting |  |  | 173 |
Economic Consulting |  |  | (4 | )
Technology |  |  | 14 |
Strategic Communications |  |  | 64 |
|  |  | 315 |
Unallocated Corporate |  |  | 112 |
Total |  | $ | 427 |
We did not record any special charges in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The total cash outflow associated with the special charges is expected to be $24.9 million, of which $10.9 million has been paid as of March 31, 2013. Approximately, $5.6 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2013, $2.7 million is expected to be paid in 2014, $1.2 million is expected to be paid in 2015, $0.8 million is expected to be paid in 2016, and the remaining balance of $3.7 million related to lease costs will be paid from 2017 to 2025. A liability for the current and noncurrent portions of the amounts to be paid is included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” and “Other liabilities,” respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
