Damages Expert Witnesses

Damages disputes arise across nearly every category of complex commercial litigation, whenever the parties disagree not about whether a breach, infringement, or wrongful act occurred, but about how to quantify its financial consequences. These disputes surface in breach of contract and lost profits claims, in intellectual property matters requiring reasonable royalty or lost profits analysis, in antitrust and securities cases requiring class-wide damages methodologies, and in business valuation disputes arising from mergers, acquisitions, and shareholder disputes. Because damages methodologies involve judgment calls about causation, the appropriate measurement period, and which financial data best isolates the harm at issue, reasonable damages experts applying accepted techniques to the same facts can reach significantly different figures. The central issue is typically whether the damages methodology and underlying financial data reliably measure the specific loss the case alleges.

A damages expert helps attorneys resolve that question by applying accepted financial, economic, and accounting methodologies to isolate and quantify the loss at issue. That might mean building a lost profits model based on but-for revenue projections in a breach of contract case, calculating a reasonable royalty or disgorgement of profits in a patent or trademark matter, or constructing a business valuation using accepted approaches for a shareholder dispute. These findings support positions on the amount of compensatory or punitive damages, and often anticipate the methodological challenges an opposing damages expert is likely to raise.

Because damages methodologies vary significantly by case type, from lost profits to intellectual property royalties to business valuation, selecting the right expert means matching the assignment to someone with direct experience quantifying that specific category of loss rather than damages analysis in general terms. Round Table Group's damages network includes scholars, accountants, and economists who have testified extensively in federal, state, and bankruptcy courts as well as before the U.S. Congress, and who are prolific authors on damages methodology. With more than 75,000 expert searches completed for litigators, we help attorneys match a case's specific damages issue to an expert whose methodology will withstand scrutiny under cross-examination. Let us help you find the right damages expert for your case by calling us at (202) 908-4500.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

Round Table Group helps our clients find a wide variety of Damages expert witnesses for cases like:

01

Supply Breach Lost Profits From a Price Hike.

A contract manufacturer sued its raw materials supplier after a mid-contract price hike breach forced the manufacturer to source substitute materials at a higher cost, cutting deeply into a multi-year production run's margins. We identified experts with experience in lost profits quantification, manufacturing cost accounting, and commercial damages modeling. The expert's but-for margin analysis isolated the price differential's impact, anchoring damages for a substantial recovery.
02

Business Interruption Valuation Fight After a Factory Fire.

An insurer and a manufacturing company disputed the size of a business interruption claim after a fire shut down a production facility for several months, with the parties far apart on how to measure lost income during the restoration period. We identified experts with experience in business interruption claim quantification, forensic accounting, and manufacturing revenue forecasting. The expert's period-of-restoration analysis reconciled the competing loss calculations, driving a substantial settlement.
03

Reasonable Royalty Dispute in a Patent Infringement Case.

A technology company sued a competitor for patent infringement after discovering the competitor's flagship product incorporated its patented sensor design, and the parties disputed the appropriate royalty rate for a hypothetical negotiation. We identified experts with experience in patent damages methodology, reasonable royalty analysis, and technology licensing economics. The expert's royalty rate analysis anchored the damages theory, supporting a jury verdict awarding over $60 million.
04

Distribution Termination Lost Profits Over a Wrongful Cancellation.

A regional distributor sued a manufacturer for wrongfully terminating a multi-year distribution agreement years before its term expired, seeking lost profits for the remaining contract period. We identified experts with experience in lost profits forecasting, distribution channel economics, and commercial contract damages. The expert's discounted cash flow projection of the remaining term anchored the damages claim, supporting a substantial judgment.
05

Shareholder Fair Value Dispute in an Oppression Claim.

An institutional minority investor in a closely held manufacturing company sued the company and its majority owners for oppression after being frozen out of distributions and governance, and the parties disputed the fair value of the investor's interest as of the valuation date. We identified experts with experience in business valuation, closely held company appraisal, and minority discount and marketability analysis. The expert's discounted cash flow valuation anchored the fair value determination, supporting a favorable ruling.
06

Earnout Calculation Dispute Over Revenue Recognition Changes.

The sellers of an acquired software company sued the acquirer, alleging the post-closing earnout payment was understated because the acquirer changed how revenue was recognized during the earnout period. We identified experts with experience in earnout and purchase agreement damages, revenue recognition accounting, and post-acquisition financial analysis. The expert's recalculation under the contracted accounting methodology quantified the shortfall, anchoring damages for a substantial settlement.
07

Trade Secret Avoided Cost Claim After Misappropriation.

A specialty chemicals company sued a former joint venture partner for misappropriating proprietary formulation data to accelerate development of a competing product line. We identified experts with experience in trade secret damages, unjust enrichment and avoided cost analysis, and chemical process economics. The expert's avoided development cost calculation anchored the unjust enrichment damages, supporting a substantial recovery.
08

Cartel Overcharge Claim From Coordinated Price-Fixing.

An industrial parts purchaser sued a group of component suppliers for price-fixing, alleging years of coordinated pricing resulted in systematic overcharges on its purchases. We identified experts with experience in antitrust economics, price-fixing overcharge analysis, and econometric damages modeling. The expert's regression analysis isolated the overcharge attributable to the conspiracy, anchoring a settlement of nearly $45 million.
09

Franchise Termination Royalty Stream Lost to Early Exit.

A franchisor sued a multi-unit franchisee for wrongfully terminating its franchise agreements early, seeking the lost future royalty stream for the balance of the contracted term. We identified experts with experience in franchise economics, lost royalty stream valuation, and discounted cash flow damages modeling. The expert's projection of the remaining royalty stream anchored the damages claim, driving a favorable settlement.
10

Tortious Interference Damages From Poached Client Relationships.

A staffing agency sued a competitor for tortious interference after the competitor systematically poached its client relationships using information obtained from a former employee, causing a sharp drop in recurring revenue. We identified experts with experience in commercial damages analysis, customer relationship valuation, and lost revenue forecasting. The expert's client attrition analysis isolated the revenue loss attributable to the interference, anchoring damages for a substantial recovery.
