PRACTICE OVERVIEW
Our experts provide written expert reports and testimony on matters involving business valuation across various industries and business types, damages models, and theories such as lost profits, disgorgement of profits, full-price restitutions, and replacement costs, among other well-accepted damages methods.
We have extensive experience developing rigorous damages models around trade secrets, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, misrepresentation, and manipulation — providing clear and defensible quantification methodologies for complex financial disputes.
Our forensic accounting capabilities cover financial statement analysis, fraud scheme reconstruction, asset tracing, and expert testimony in both civil litigation and criminal proceedings across jurisdictions.
SEDA's damages and forensic capability serves both litigation and consulting needs. As expert witnesses, our practitioners provide court-tested damages analyses in securities fraud class actions, derivatives mis-selling claims, structured product disputes, and complex commercial arbitrations — deploying rigorous methodologies including lost profits, out-of-pocket losses, disgorgement, and unjust enrichment. As pre-litigation consultants, we advise law firms and their clients on damages scoping, quantum strategy, and expert selection at the earliest stages of a dispute — providing the same analytical depth that underpins our courtroom testimony.
