Lost Profits Damages
Overview
We have extensive experience analyzing claims for lost profits, on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants, covering a wide variety of legal claims, types of businesses, industries and loss scenarios. Claims for lost profits involve a variety of legal contexts and harm scenarios, including breach of contract, intellectual property infringement, personal injury, business interruption and other business torts.
We also evaluate damages incurred by nonprofit organizations or government entities. While these damages may not be termed “lost profits,” we employ similar analytical techniques to identify the losses suffered by organizations that are not designed to generate a profit.
