Economic Damages

The measure of loss in civil litigation is often the economic loss, i.e., the actual erosion in economic position that is traceable to a specific cause of action, net of offsetting mitigation.

Our services include analysis of the business, its markets, market power and costs together with a parallel analysis of the legal causes of action for which economic damages are claimed.  With an understanding of the business model employed and the events outlined in the complaint, we compile a baseline of operations under a scenario in which the causes of action are absent, and compare that to operations which actually occurred.  Considering mitigation opportunities, whether exploited or not, our report shows the bottom line net result of the events that are the subject of the civil action.

Our services may be engaged by either plaintiffs or defendants.  Both have an opportunity to address economic damages at trial, and we are able to help either develop an accurate and reasonable determination of economic loss. 

Our services are have been used in contract disputes, intellectual property matters, business interruption matters, fraudulent conveyance matters, challenges to bankruptcy filings, partnership disputes, marital (property) dissolution matters and in insurance claims.
