Valuation & Damages

Organisations facing commercial or international disputes often require valuation opinions, expert testimony and damages calculations. Traditional commercial disputes include matters of economic damage, post-transaction disputes, and professional negligence or stakeholder controversy. International disputes often require testimony before international courts and arbitration tribunals. When many of the world’s top law firms, corporates, and capital market constituents face litigation and disputes and need the support of independent, trusted experts, they engage FTI Consulting. Around the globe, we are highly regarded as leading experts in finance, economics and accounting, and as the pre-eminent firm in the provision of damages expertise.

Organisations often need an independent valuation of financial instruments across asset classes in special situations, including financial reporting, risk advisory, transactions, financial due diligence, restructurings, liquidations, disputes, litigation, arbitration, and internal and regulatory investigations. The combination of quantitative and trading expertise across asset classes and reliance on proprietary methodologies and technology enables us to provide transparent, reliable and objective valuations. We can value financial instruments from vanilla and liquid to complex and illiquid and provide risk-return analysis and benchmarking for investment management activities.

As organisations accumulate ever larger and more complex datasets, damages assessments are also increasingly reliant on analysis of this data. Our economics and statistics experts regularly work alongside valuation and damages specialists, deploying careful, targeted and proportionate analysis of large datasets to support the assessment of damages. We are experts in using data to measure cause and effect (which used to test legal liability), to estimate damages in data-heavy disputes, or to address key questions that may drive or otherwise feed in to the overall assessment of damages.
