Dispute Consulting
S1 Group advises on international disputes and arbitration. From high-profile transactions to regulatory issues and complex litigation, our lawyers harness their knowledge across multiple legal disciplines to provide a holistic perspective for sophisticated matters.
We have a great experience in the following areas:
Risk Assessment and Damages Exposure
We assist with identifying and assessing potential strengths and weaknesses of an opponent’s damages position, settlement offers, and cost/benefit analyses to help clients effectively manage their case strategies.
Financial Analyses and Damages Theories
We help perform market and competitive analyses, cost determinations, lost-profit analyses, economic studies, statistical analyses, and industry reviews to help our clients develop credible damages theories and models appropriate to a case’s issues. We also assist with the critique of the adversary’s position.
Arbitration
We are experienced in assisting clients and their counsel with damages relating to international commercial disputes and arbitrations, including determining and proving the “loss,” challenging alternatives, and determining foreseeability and mitigation. Some of our senior partners can act as neutral parties in various types of disputes and private arbitrations.
Buy-Sell Disputes
Using our extensive international experience in purchase and sale agreement disputes, we analyze underlying records, research complex accounting questions, and interpret contractual modifications of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We consult buyers and sellers, working as an independent arbitrator or rendering expert witness opinions in breach of representation litigation matters.
