Damages Expert Witnesses

In many commercial cases, liability is only half the battle; the amount at stake depends on how damages are measured. Breach of contract, business tort, intellectual property, antitrust, securities, and partnership disputes all require a reliable quantification of what the injured party lost or what the defendant gained. Courts scrutinize damages methodologies closely, and opinions built on speculative projections or unsupported assumptions are frequently excluded. The central question is how to measure economic harm in a way that is both financially sound and consistent with the governing legal standard.

A damages expert helps attorneys translate liability theories into credible financial analysis. Depending on the claim, the expert can calculate lost profits, diminution in business value, reasonable royalties, unjust enrichment, or out-of-pocket losses, using company records, industry data, and accepted valuation and forecasting methods. The expert must also address causation by separating losses attributable to the challenged conduct from those caused by market conditions or other factors. That analysis supports recovery or rebuts inflated claims, and it often shapes settlement negotiations as much as trial.

Damages testimony is most persuasive when it comes from economists and financial professionals whose work has withstood rigorous scrutiny. Round Table Group can introduce forensic accountants, economists, and valuation professionals, including CPAs with ABV and CFF credentials, CFA charterholders, and faculty from leading economics and finance departments, as well as professionals with experience at major economic consulting firms. Their expertise helps a fact-finder evaluate competing calculations with confidence. Our more than 75,000 expert searches for litigators help us match the claims and industry in your case with a qualified expert.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

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

01

Damages Consulting Firm Sued After Methodology Excluded

A plaintiff company sued its retained damages consulting firm for negligence after the firm's lost-profits methodology was excluded at trial, allegedly costing the client its damages claim entirely. We identified experts with experience in economic damages methodology, forensic accounting standards, and expert testimony admissibility practices. The retained expert's review identified the original methodology's failure to control for market-wide demand shifts, supporting the malpractice claim.
02

Forensic Accountants Clash Over Business Interruption Calculation

In a supply chain disruption dispute, opposing forensic accounting experts presented conflicting business-interruption damages models based on different baseline revenue periods. We identified experts with experience in forensic accounting, business interruption damages methodology, and revenue trend analysis. The retained expert's baseline-period analysis was adopted by the arbitration panel, substantially reducing the awarded damages.
03

Patent Royalty Damages Expert Anchors Licensing Dispute

A technology licensor sued an infringing manufacturer, with the case turning on the appropriate reasonable-royalty rate for a disputed patent portfolio used in a widely sold consumer product line. We identified experts with experience in patent damages methodology, reasonable royalty analysis, and technology licensing benchmarking. The expert's comparable-license analysis anchored the royalty rate ultimately adopted in the settlement.
04

Antitrust Damages Economist Survives Daubert Challenge

In a price-fixing class action against industrial component suppliers, the defense challenged the plaintiffs' damages economist's overcharge model as methodologically unreliable. We identified experts with experience in antitrust economics, overcharge damages modeling, and econometric regression analysis. The expert's model survived the Daubert challenge, preserving the class certification and damages framework.
05

Construction Delay Damages Consultant Faces Malpractice Suit

A general contractor sued its construction-delay damages consultant after a critical-path schedule analysis used in an arbitration was found to contain a sequencing error that understated recoverable delay damages. We identified experts with experience in construction scheduling analysis, critical-path methodology, and delay damages quantification. The retained expert's corrected schedule analysis identified the sequencing error, supporting the contractor's malpractice claim.
06

Lost Profits Expert Dispute Delays Manufacturing Arbitration

Two manufacturing companies disputed the appropriate lost-profits period following a supply agreement termination, with each side's damages expert applying a different market-recovery assumption. We identified experts with experience in lost profits damages analysis, manufacturing market recovery modeling, and forensic accounting. The retained expert's market-data analysis supported a shorter recovery period, substantially narrowing the damages award.
07

Damages Software Vendor Sued Over Calculation Defect

A litigation support company sued a damages-modeling software vendor after a spreadsheet-linking defect caused a client's submitted damages exhibit to understate the claimed amount in a multiparty arbitration. We identified experts with experience in damages calculation software validation, forensic accounting workflows, and litigation support technology. The expert's software audit isolated the linking defect, supporting the litigation support company's claim against the vendor.
08

Class Action Damages Methodology Disputed at Certification

In a consumer products class action, the defense argued the plaintiffs' proposed damages methodology could not measure damages on a classwide basis without individualized inquiry. We identified experts with experience in class action damages methodology, statistical sampling, and consumer products pricing analysis. The retained expert's classwide model was found capable of common proof, supporting certification of the damages class.
09

Breach-of-Warranty Damages Firm Sued Over Scope Overrun

An industrial equipment buyer sued its damages consulting firm for billing substantially beyond the fixed-fee scope defined in the engagement letter for a breach-of-warranty damages analysis. We identified experts with experience in damages consulting engagement practices, professional services billing standards, and forensic accounting scope management. The expert's engagement-letter analysis confirmed the scope overrun, supporting the buyer's fee dispute claim.
10

M&A Post-Closing Damages Dispute Turns on Working Capital

A buyer and seller of a distribution business disputed post-closing damages after a working capital adjustment calculation was challenged as inconsistent with the purchase agreement's defined accounting methodology. We identified experts with experience in M&A purchase price adjustment analysis, working capital accounting, and post-closing damages disputes. The expert's recalculation under the agreement's defined methodology reversed a substantial portion of the disputed adjustment.
