Litigative Economics
RRC has extensive experience in assisting attorneys in relating complex legal matters to economic, financial, and statistical evidence. RRC has been successful in the analysis of issues such as contract violations, product liability and warranty, theft of trade secrets, discrimination, monopolization, price-fixing, monopsony purchasing, boycotts, licensing restrictions, and damage theories. Often economic evidence suggests a line of argument, supported by sound economic theory, which narrows
the scope of a case and offers an efficient, effective avenue for successful litigation.
Breach of Contracts and Agreements
Contracts and agreements are usually formed when both parties have similar expectations and are otherwise fully informed. When expectations fail to materialize, a party may find it necessary to breach a contract. RRC is experienced in evaluating losses associated with a breach and in evaluating changes in market conditions that allegedly cause a breach. RRC has experience regarding business interruption insurance, non-competing buyout contracts, take-or-pay purchase contracts, cost-plus subcontractor contracts, expedient performance contracts, best efforts clauses, theft of proprietary information, and others.
