Damages

A precise, rigorous damages analysis can have a significant impact on the financial outcome of a case. CRA’s consultants provide sophisticated, expert damages analysis using strong analytical skills as well as deep experience in multiple industries. We bring a cutting-edge understanding of the legal, economic, statistical, and accounting considerations that impact reasonable definition of the “but for” world that could have evolved absent the alleged action as well as accurate measurement of any resulting damages. Our skill in econometrics and modeling is tested and trusted. We assess issues related to disputes involving lost profits, breach of contract, purchase price, valuation, business interruption, product liability, and fraud among other damages claims.

CRA calculates damages, provides expert testimony, and critiques opposing experts’ damages analyses in matters involving disputes in:

• Antitrust
• Intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and other IP infringement
• Securities and other financial market issues
• Insolvency
• Property values
• Contract
• Employment discrimination
• Product liability
• Environmental contamination
• Purchase price

In addition, we offer broader services in corporate valuation, and support clients in many industries by providing pre-trial evaluations of damage claims and methodologies. Our consultants also evaluate proposed settlements in class action and other cases.
