Commercial Damages
Lost Profits Analysis
Every commercial-damages dispute presents unique issues. To deal with his complexity, economists at the Center for Forensic Economic Studies have developed economic models that consider the unique aspects of the business itself, the pertinent industry and other market variables that might affect the bottom line
The Center has been called on to provide analysis in many commercial areas, including antitrust, business interruption, patent infringement, assessment of financial incentives for arson, excess compensation, business valuation, breach of contract and tortious interference. The Center’s forensic economists have analyzed lost-profit and accounting-fraud claims arising in a wide variety of industries, and excel at uncovering and interpreting data, financial documents and facts germane to such claims.
Contact the Center to discuss how we can help you prepare and present your commercial-damages case.
