If the answer is anything other than the Court, opposing counsel will find it. Here's how we build economic analysis that holds up when somebody is trying hard to break it.
Takes about two minutes. We read every one.
That's it. Really. If you're in one of them, we should talk.
There's a case, there's economic damage in it, and it needs somebody who can measure that damage and then defend the number under cross-examination.
A valuation, a sale, a merger, an ownership transition. You need a defensible figure, not a flattering one.
Trust and estate work. Gifting shares to children, structuring a transfer, getting the economics right before the tax question ever comes up.
Here's the thing nobody says out loud. When you hire an expert, you're not really buying a report. You're buying whether that report survives the moment somebody smart tries to take it apart.
And the fastest way to lose that moment is an expert who looks like he shaded the opinion toward whoever wrote the check.
That's not us being difficult. That's the whole value, right? An opinion that bends is an opinion that breaks. We'd rather tell you something uncomfortable in week one than watch it come apart in front of a jury.
A lot of economists do the opposite. They make it sound hard, and tricky, and weird. And usually that's ego, not rigor.
It also loses cases. A jury that doesn't follow your damages model doesn't award your damages model. So we break it down in plain language, every time, and we don't apologize for that.
Dr. Christopher Young founded Red Maple Economics Group in 2018. The credentials matter here because opposing counsel will read them out loud.
Worth reading before you spend the two minutes. We'd rather you self select than sit through a call that was never going to work.
It's how we take a complicated, high stakes financial dispute and turn it into analysis a court can actually use.
Before we model anything, we look for what's going to get attacked. Better to find it than to have opposing counsel find it.
Forensic precision, documented assumptions, and a method that reads the same way in a deposition as it does on paper.
The jury and mother standard. If a smart non-economist can't follow it, it isn't finished.
Senior people on your matter. No revolving door of junior analysts, no overseas handoff, no meeting the expert for the first time at the deposition.
Two minutes. Enough for us to know whether we're the right fit before either of us spends a call finding out.
If it's a fit, you'll go straight to the calendar.
Straight answer on whether we can help, what it would take, and roughly what it costs. If we're not the right firm for it, we'll tell you that too.
Nothing you submit is shared outside our firm. Please don't include privileged case detail on the form. We'll cover that on the call.
Two minutes now can save you a much longer conversation later.
Takes about two minutes. We read every one.
