Economic Damages

Documented calculations of lost profits and economic harm for litigation and dispute resolution.

Quantify What Was Lost

When a wrong has been committed, the next question is what it cost. Our economic damages team calculates lost profits, diminished business value and other financial harm with the rigor and documentation that litigation requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lost profits and lost business value?

Lost profits measure income lost over a specific period. Lost business value measures a lasting drop in what the company is worth. Some cases call for one, and some call for both.

When should an attorney bring in a damages expert?

Early. Involving a damages expert at the start helps shape discovery requests and test the strength of a claim before positions harden.

Do you work for plaintiffs or defendants?

Both. We calculate damages for plaintiffs and, for defendants, evaluate the damages claim and review the opposing expert's analysis.
