We bring a carefully tailored approach to the many valuations we have provided for clients across a broad range of litigation and business strategy engagements, offering both technical proficiency and the ability to assess the variables that influence future values.

Valuation is a component of many of the practices in which we work, including Intellectual Property, Securities & Financial Instruments, Strategy & Analytics, Transfer Pricing & Tax, Commercial Litigation & Damages, and Energy. We apply sophisticated modeling, statistical, and econometric techniques and often develop advanced models to run various scenarios.

The ability to accurately value complex instruments will be a key aspect of the litigations resulting from the subprime lending fallout. It is also critical in our analyses in cases involving stock options backdating.

Our valuation work has involved:

Financial Instruments

We are experts in applying sophisticated financial tools to value a broad range of financial instruments and derivatives, including warrants, swaps, futures options, structured notes, and currency options. Of particular relevance to subprime lending litigations, we also have significant experience in mortgage and other asset-backed securities.
