Does your litigation team need a financial expert?

Quantifying the financial implications of a dispute is an essential step in developing a litigation strategy. For example, the impact of ongoing earplug litigation has led 3M to a spinoff and a Chapter 11 filing for its’ Aearo subsidiary. Jiffy Lube has decided to settle a lawsuit over hiring restrictions brought by franchisees. The creators of a Bridgerton musical are facing a copyright dispute brought by Netflix, and Roblox filed suit last week alleging their avatars are being turned into dolls by toymaker WowWee Group.
