Economic evidence
that can be tested.
I prepare independent economic reports on loss, earning capacity, employability and commercial disputes.
My work helps courts and parties assess what happened, what would probably have happened otherwise, and the financial difference.
Clear reasoning, open to scrutiny.
My reports set out the evidence, assumptions and methods so they can be examined and tested. They have been accepted as evidence in superior courts, and I have given evidence under cross-examination.
I accept instructions for preliminary assessments, full reports, mediation and settlement discussions. My work focuses on labour markets and individual loss, and extends to business interruption, commercial loss and market conditions.
Questions I examine
Past and future economic loss, likely career progression, earning capacity, employability and labour market prospects. This includes superannuation and the longer-term effects of interrupted work.
In commercial matters, I assess counterfactual revenue, profit and trading performance, with attention to demand, pricing and market conditions.
Matters
I accept briefs in all areas of law. Matters are most frequently in employment, personal injury, insurance, family law, wills and estates, contractual and commercial disputes, defamation and native title.
Making an enquiry
Please send the parties’ names for a conflict check, a short description of the economic issues, key dates and the scope of opinion sought. We can then discuss availability and the material required.
Indicative fees
Preliminary opinions are usually $1,500 to $3,000. Full expert reports are usually $5,000 to $15,000. Fees depend on the issues, material and scope of analysis.
