Contract damages work sits at the intersection of law and accounting: counsel defines the damages framework, and the financial expert builds a measurement model that fits that framework and the record.

Direct damages, consequential damages, and lost profits

Direct damages may track invoices and out-of-pocket costs. Consequential damages may require stricter causation proof. Lost profits require a coherent but-for baseline and mitigation analysis.

Experts must avoid measuring damages that the law does not permit in the jurisdiction.

Financial evidence and discovery strategy

Contract damages disputes often hinge on customer-level data, fulfillment records, and communications about performance excuses.

Early expert involvement helps counsel draft targeted discovery that actually unlocks the accounting story.
