What forensic economics covers

Forensic economics applies economic method to disputed facts: what happened, what would have happened otherwise, and what the difference is worth. The work spans causation, liability-side economics, and valuation, and it is documented so that every number can be traced back to a source and reproduced by an opposing expert.

  • Expert report or sworn declaration with a stated methodology
  • Causation and but-for analysis grounded in economic theory
  • Rebuttal analysis identifying flaws in an opposing expert's model
  • Complete data sources, citations, and reproducible calculations
  • Deposition and trial testimony support
  • Early case assessment before positions are committed

Applications

  • Commercial and contract disputes
  • Employment and wage litigation
  • Personal injury and wrongful death matters
  • Business interruption and lost profits claims
  • Antitrust and competitive-effects analysis
  • Regulatory and administrative proceedings

Frequently asked questions

What does a forensic economist do?
A forensic economist applies economic and statistical methods to the disputed facts of a legal matter — estimating losses, testing causation, valuing businesses or earnings streams — and presents the analysis in a report and, where needed, in testimony.
Do you work for plaintiffs or defendants?
Both. The analysis does not change with the retaining side; independence is what makes the opinion useful.
When should an economist be engaged?
Earlier than most matters allow. An early assessment shapes discovery requests and tests whether a damages theory holds before it becomes a stated position.
