consultant's

Hired specialist's possession

Consultant's is the possessive form of consultant—a person hired to give expert advice.

The apostrophe-s indicates belonging: the consultant's report, the consultant's fee, the consultant's recommendation.

A consultant may work in management, technology, medicine, or countless other fields, typically as an outside expert rather than an employee.
