Why You Should Attend

Throughout BVR's Online Symposium on Litigation & Economic Damages expert appraisers and attorneys have discussed the methodology by which lost profits claims are calculated, argued, and tried. At the same time courts, appellate courts, and arbiters have been weighing in on the admissibility, reliability, and accuracy of these same techniques, in their continuing development of case law and judicial precedent.

In this, the 13th and final installment of BVR's Symposium, curators Nancy Fannon and Jonathan Dunitz and expert attorney Joan Eads join us to discuss what the courts have said since the series begin in September, 2011. Join them to learn how recent decisions have impacted everything from the reliability and sufficiency of evidence to use of benchmarks and comparables to the application of the discounted cash flows. For anyone providing valuations, damages assessments, or any other work for litigation purposes, this is a program not to be missed.

    • Qualifications to do the work
    • Are past profits necessary to claim lost profits
    • Is DCF nothing more than disguised lost profits?
