Internationally recognized methodologies to quantify damages with technical rigor and defensibility before courts.

What we do
Our analysis provides solid, defensible support before courts, whether you represent the plaintiff or the defendant. Our work includes building counterfactual scenarios as the basis for estimating both direct and indirect damages, as well as actual damages and lost profits. We also address the most debated technical aspects of this type of expert report, such as the applicable interest or discount rate, the point from which interest is calculated, and the methods for updating amounts over time — always with the methodological backing required by high-level litigation.
Regional Scope
The economic and financial principles underlying an expert report are the same across jurisdictions. This allows us to offer damages assessment advisory at the regional level, always applying the same standard of technical rigor and adapting each analysis to the specifics of the case and each country's legal framework.
