Litigation Consulting Services for Breach of Contract

Arxis Financial's “Litigation Consulting” practice provides objective and independent evaluation of the economic and financial issues resulting from breach of contract actions. When a party fails, without a legally valid excuse, to live up to responsibilities under a contract there are typically widely varying opinions between plaintiff and defense as to the damages incurred from the breach of contract. Arxis Financial’s professionals can perform an analysis to calculate lost revenues, lost profits, lost opportunities, and unjust enrichment, as well as to provide assistance in the defense against such claims. We investigate and analyze the financial evidence and provide meaningful insights.

Expert analysis and conclusions are presented in depositions and trial at local, state and federal court levels as well as mediation and arbitration. We assist attorneys in interpreting the data and help counsel to understand and analyze events or issues as they develop the case and prepare discovery. Clients are pleased with Arxis Financial’s abilities to clearly, persuasively, and accurately present economic and financial evidence and opinions.
