Business Interruption & Lost Profits

VERTEX professionals are experienced with accounting, economic, financial, and damages issues that arise in business disputes and commercial litigation. Our team of Certified Public Accountants, Certified Management Accountants, and Certified Fraud Examiners, among other finance and accounting professionals, provide economic damages consulting and expert witness testimony services to clients throughout the United States and internationally. We have consulted on hundreds of matters involving business interruption and lost profits claims, and when necessary, have issued and rebutted expert reports and provided expert witness testimony in state and federal courts, as well as in domestic and international arbitrations. We have also presented at mediations.

VERTEX uses industry-recognized approaches to develop business interruption and lost profits calculations aligned to causal events to develop fact-based, supported claims. Our team is well-versed in analyzing complex financial records including but not limited to financial statements, forecasts and projections, and other market, industry, and economic data sets. Our experience spans numerous industries, including insurance and surety, construction, utilities, environmental, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, government contracts, and real estate, among others.

If expert testimony is required, our expertise allows clients to develop a more credible damages calculation that withstands scrutiny of opposing counsel and experts, allowing for a timely and cost effective resolution to disputes.
