Special Charges | 4. Special Charges During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded special charges totaling $38.4 million, of which $14.1 million was non-cash. The charges reflect contractual post-employment severance and transition services, equity award and retention bonus expense acceleration primarily related to the transition of the Company’s former Executive Chairman and former President and Chief Executive Officer, accelerated expense related to future payments required to be made under a contractual transition service agreement with a Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment senior client facing professional, and costs related to actions we took to realign our workforce to address current business demands impacting our Corporate Finance/Restructuring and Forensic and Litigation Consulting segments, and to reduce certain corporate overhead within our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region, most of which were recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded adjustments to the special charges for office spaces vacated prior to the end of the second quarter of 2012 of approximately $0.4 million. These charges reflected the changes to sublease terms and associated costs for those locations for which subleases were entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We did not record any special charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The total cash outflow associated with the previously recorded special charges is expected to be $48.5 million, of which $24.1 million has been paid as of March 31, 2014. Approximately $7.8 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2014, $5.0 million is expected to be paid in 2015, $3.1 million is expected to be paid in 2016, $3.1 million is expected to be paid in 2017, and the remaining balance of $5.4 million will be paid from 2018 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. Activity related to the liability for these costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is as follows:
