Litigation Economics
We work with attorneys and insurance companies to help them understand the methods employed by opposing damages experts. We make sure the client fully understands the relevant economic issues and methodologies being relied upon by opposing experts. Litigation support includes evaluation of opposing damage reports, assistance with depositions and courtroom testimony, assistance in developing exhibits as well as cross examination assistance.
Critiquing Opposing Expert Reports
Economatrix analyzes expert reports on damages that have been submitted in litigated matters. We carefully review the opposing expert’s analyses and determine the reliability of the analysis and the opinions being put forward by the opposing expert. As part of this process we help counsel effectively challenge through cross examination the unreliable and speculative aspects of the opposing expert’s analysis.
Business Interruption Damages
Our experts are authorities on how to measure the losses of companies due to business interruptions. Dr. Patrick Gaughan has developed a comprehensive methodology for reliably measuring such losses. This is set forth in Dr. Gaughan’s book – Measuring Business Interruption Losses and Other Commercial Damages.
Punitive Damages
In instances in which the plaintiff is asserting a claim for punitive damages against a corporate defendant, Economatrix will analyze the economic effects of such potential punitive damages. In many instances the imposition of punitive damages may have many adverse side effects which a jury would never intend.
Regional Economic Consulting
Economatrix provides regional economic consulting services for its clients. This work focuses on the regional effects of specific economic events as well as an analysis of regional economy conditions.

Forensic Economics
As defined by National Association of Forensic Economics Board of Directors, Forensic Economics is the scientific discipline that applies economic theories and methods to the issue of pecuniary damages as specified by case law and legislative codes.
