The primary objective of most plaintiffs in any litigation matter is to collect money. Very often, however, attorneys focus on establishing liability and do not analyze damages until the end of the case. Our Firm recognizes the importance of analyzing financial damages issues at the beginning of litigation, rather than the end, to ensure that they can meet the standards of proof at trial. The Firm applies its vast experience in financial damages, including lost profits, loss of market capitalization, diminution of stock value, loss of goodwill, and loss of intangible assets such as trademarks and copyrights.
Because of our experience in quantifying financial losses, our Firm is often asked to apply this expertise beyond contract and business tort claims. We are frequently called upon to handle high-net-worth family law disputes, particularly where the ownership and valuation of family businesses or investments are at issue. Similarly, we apply these same principles to personal tort claims involving financial and emotional losses, including claims that may provide for punitive damages, such as defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress.
