This webinar brings together renowned forensic and litigation economists with years of experience to provide a big-picture overview of the field and the role of the economic damages expert in litigation. Panelists will walk through what happens when an allegation is made, how economists become involved, and what their work looks like from start to finish. They will explain the key types of cases economists typically work on and how they support attorneys on both sides—as consulting or testifying experts. The discussion will highlight the kinds of questions economists help answer, the core tools in an economist’s toolkit for litigation support, the value they bring to legal disputes, and provide useful references and resources for further learning.
