Economic Consulting

Our group is a diverse team of skilled economists, statisticians, data analysts, business valuators, and former executives and regulators. We provide robust, independent valuation opinions in mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy, portfolio liquidations, transaction unwinding and disputes, as well as for financial reporting and tax purposes, both in situations where market and financial information is abundant and where it is scarce, hard to interpret or conflicting. We specialize in “hard-to-value” assets whose value is contingent on the context in which they are used or whose value is only realized in conjunction with other assets. Drawing on our extensive experience and expertise, we adopt the most suitable valuation approach for each asset under consideration, taking into account all relevant factors, including contractual or statutory requirements and case law precedent.

Our expertise also includes issues in employment, consumer finance, housing, discrimination and fair lending, in litigation, compliance, and risk management settings. Our experts have extensive experience providing testimony on liability, class certification and damages questions, and actionable consulting support for our clients around the world.

We help public and private companies, legal firms and regulators handle disputes of all kinds, and we provide independent, authoritative expert witness testimony and advice for clients in antitrust, securities, intellectual property, international arbitration, valuation and other business disputes.
