If you’re lucky
enough to survive a serious accident, can you be made whole?
Accidents and injuries happen all the time. Only a few make the
headlines, like the Hollywood stunt double who is suing
the producers of Resident Evil after her
crash led to an amputation, or the number of serious illnesses and fatalities
among young people that may be connected to vaping. In any case,
survivors who seek damages will need to have lost earnings determined as part
of their claims.
Whether you are the plaintiff or defendant in litigation
that involves lost earnings, the professionals at Asterion can assist you.
Is
a merger the right step for your business?
Some mergers just seem to make sense, like the recent purchase
of Halo Top by the owner of
Blue Bunny ice cream. Others meet with obstacles that kill the deal, like the
FTC objections that led to the recent cancellation of a merger
of title companies. Then there are the times when a failed merger
turns out to be the best course. Blockbuster
rejected Netflix when the latter offered to be bought for $50
million.
If you are evaluating a potential M&A transaction,
consider consulting Asterion.
