Damages Quantification

Economic Damages Analysis

Quantify what was actually lost — with a but-for model, documented assumptions, and calculations an opposing expert can reproduce.

What the analysis covers

Damages analysis compares the world as it is with the world as it would have been absent the conduct at issue. We build that but-for scenario explicitly, value the difference, discount it appropriately, and account for mitigation — then test how the conclusion moves when the central assumptions change.

  • Lost profits and lost revenue models with a stated but-for scenario
  • Lost earnings and earning-capacity analysis, including benefits and worklife
  • Diminished business value and going-concern valuation
  • Prejudgment interest, discounting, and present-value calculations
  • Mitigation and offset analysis
  • Sensitivity analysis on every material assumption

Applications

  • Breach of contract lost profits
  • Business interruption claims
  • Wrongful termination and lost earnings
  • Personal injury earning-capacity analysis
  • Intellectual property and unfair competition damages
  • Rebuttal of opposing damages reports

Who it's for

Plaintiff counsel

Establish the measurable economic loss with a model that survives a Daubert challenge and cross-examination.

Defense counsel

Test an opposing damages model for unsupported assumptions, double counting, or ignored mitigation.

Businesses in dispute

Understand exposure or recovery before settlement discussions begin.

Insurers & adjusters

Independent valuation of claimed business interruption and loss-of-income figures.

Frequently asked questions

How are economic damages calculated?
By constructing a but-for scenario — the revenues, earnings, or value that would have existed absent the conduct — subtracting actual results, accounting for mitigation and avoided costs, and discounting future losses to present value.
What information do you need?
Financial statements, tax returns, payroll or sales records, contracts, and industry or market data. Where records are incomplete, we state the assumption used and show how the result changes under alternatives.
Can you rebut an existing damages report?
Yes. Rebuttal work is a significant part of the practice: examining the opposing model's assumptions, data handling, and methodology, and quantifying the effect of each defect identified.
