Commercial Damage Calculations for High-Stakes Disputes
In the courtroom, commercial damage calculations can determine whether a case settles or goes to trial. At McEntire Advisory, we specialize in commercial damage calculations that stand up to scrutiny and support informed decision-making and withstand rigorous review.
Whether you’re preparing for trial, seeking leverage in mediation, or assessing exposure during a financial dispute resolution, our team brings clarity, accuracy, and confidence to every engagement.
What are Commercial Damage Calculations?
Commercial damage calculations determine the financial impact of a business dispute, often including lost profits, diminution in value, business interruption loss, and other measurable losses. These calculations become critical in matters involving breach of contract, intellectual property infringement, shareholder disputes, and more.
Our role is to quantify damages based on the facts of the case, grounded in industry norms, legal precedent, and sound financial methodology. We serve as a bridge between financial detail and legal argument, providing clear documentation and expert support every step of the way.
Trusted Economic Damages Experts
We bring decades of experience to complex commercial disputes as certified valuation professionals and economic damages experts. We’ve supported attorneys in cases involving manufacturing, professional services, healthcare, construction, and retail, among many others.
Our team is known for delivering reports that are not only technically sound but strategically useful. As economic damages experts, we don’t just calculate numbers. We analyze financial questions, test assumptions, and communicate findings in a way that decision-makers understand.
When financial claims become a deciding factor in litigation, settlement, or arbitration, our work helps move the case forward with credibility.
A Valuable Resource in Financial Dispute Resolution
Most commercial litigation is resolved before trial, and financial dispute resolution requires strong supporting evidence. Our team works closely with attorneys and clients to deliver detailed, objective commercial damage calculations that can assist in settlement discussions and strengthen negotiation strategy.
We understand the role our work plays in high-stakes moments. That’s why we prioritize responsiveness, clarity, and neutrality in every matter. Whether working behind the scenes or stepping into an expert witness role, we ensure our deliverables are objective and meet court or mediator expectations.
Types of Damages We Calculate
Depending on the nature of the claim, damages may span a single event or reflect long-term business impacts. Our job is to ensure the scope of calculation fits the facts of the case, whether that means projecting lost revenue over years or isolating specific disruptions that occurred over a short period. We work closely with attorneys to assess the legal theory and the available evidence.
Every case is different, but our commercial damage calculations often include:
- Lost profits — revenue lost due to contract breach, unfair competition, or operational disruption
- Extraordinary expenses — additional costs incurred as a result of another party’s actions or omissions
- Business interruption loss — financial impact of unexpected disruptions or forced closures
- Diminution in business value — damage to goodwill or enterprise value
- Unjust enrichment — quantifying improper gains realized by the opposing party
We tailor every engagement to match the case theory, available data, and legal context.
