At MDD, we have worked on thousands of professional services related engagements involving lawyers, financial planners, architects, engineers, dentists, physicians, realtors and more.
Our highly skilled forensic accountants have measured losses, quantified damages and provided valuations across a wide range of operations and businesses – from sole practitioners to larger firms, and clinics to large hospitals. Furthermore, our experienced team is familiar with how factors such as economic fluctuations, contingencies and seasonality of billing can impact the resolution of a claim or a valuation.
From an economic loss perspective, our experts have been engaged on claims related to issues such as property damage, power outages, employee fidelity, lost profits, extra expenses and business interruption. During Superstorm Sandy, our professionals quantified damages for thousands of professional services businesses that sustained suspended operations due to a loss of utilities. In many instances the claims were quite complex because the businesses had multiple utility outages at various locations, meaning that damages had to be measured separately.
When required, MDD can provide expert witness testimony as well as litigation support to clients.
