Pre-litigation and negotiation support

A successful litigation strategy starts well before a case reaches the courts. Our services include economic analysis, damages quantification, financial modeling, and cost-benefit analysis of legal strategies to inform negotiations or settlement discussions. Our proactive approach allows clients to understand risks, prepare for negotiations, and explore alternatives to litigation.

Post-litigation and implementation

We assist clients in navigating the complexities of post-litigation environments with a range of tailored services. These include recalculating damages, ensuring compliance with court decisions, and advising on the equitable distribution of payments to communities. Additionally, we provide ongoing monitoring and evaluation services to ensure that settlements are managed effectively and in line with initial objectives.

Expert witness services

We provide clear and defensible economic analysis in the form of expert reports and expert witness testimony. We specialize in building and transforming complex datasets into persuasive narratives, presenting them in a straightforward manner that withstands the scrutiny of cross-examination. With advanced statistical techniques and rigorous methodologies, we equip our clients with the insights needed to navigate high-stakes litigation confidently.

Subject areas: Litigation support

• Indigenous claims against government: We provide litigation support for cases where First Nations, Inuit organizations, Indigenous governments and other Indigenous organizations dispute government actions, such as land mismanagement, treaty violations, or unfulfilled obligations.
