Independent and trusted advisers to insurance, legal and corporate clients.
Specialised capabilities
We’ll help you quantify the lost income for your insured and identify extra expenses related to the interruption. You’ll get a report of our findings with calculations you can use to settle the claim, or we can enter into discussions with the insured on your behalf.
When there’s a cyber incident involving ransomware, cyber theft, supply chain failures or other cyber breaches, we’ll be there to help you determine the financial loss from the event. By working closely with IT, incident response, attorneys and insurance adjusters, we deliver accurate assessments that capture the full extent of each cyber incident’s financial impact that is compensable under the policy.
After an alleged fraud, our team will work with your insured to investigate the circumstances that enabled it to occur and provide recommendations for strengthening internal controls to prevent a recurrence. As part of this process, we evaluate suspected versus confirmed losses and identify possible avenues for recovery.
Whether litigation has already started or is anticipated, we’re ready to step in and help you provide the best commercial outcome. We regularly provide services as consultants working closely with attorneys, insurance representatives and other experts to reach settlement. When expert witness services are needed, we are ready to prepare independent expert reports and, if required, provide credible and robust testimony.
When there’s been a personal injury, we’ll help you determine the associated economic losses. We have extensive experience across every industry in calculating life and work life expectancy, lost household services and earning capacity. We also calculate the present value of life care plans.
No matter the industry, we have the expertise you need for managing product liability and recall claims. We’ve been there for the largest recall events in the world, assessing and managing the loss and quantifying the cost.
We’ll help you assess the loss to inventory and determine the value of the lost or damaged goods — whether it’s the actual cash value (ACV), replacement cost value (RCV) or selling price. We use a variety of methods, including analyzing financial and stock records, conducting physical counts and examining production inputs and costs.
We have expertise in assisting insurance carriers and attorneys as they work to recover funds from a third party responsible for a loss or injury. We also defend carriers against subrogation demands to determine if the amounts are supported and calculated properly. Our services include providing expert reports and testimony.
