March 28 Webcast: Daubert and Economic Damages — An Update

By Securities Docket on March 15, 2012, 3:43 pm

In the 1993 Supreme Court case of Daubert v. Merrell Dow, the court established a new standard for the admissibility of expert testimony in federal court. Following this decision, the Daubert standard has been a critical hurdle in disputes over the admissibility of financial expert testimony in commercial and securities litigation.

This webcast will provide an update on the role of Daubert in cases involving financial expert testimony. Our panel will examine recent case law applying Daubert to such cases, as well as key concepts of damage theory in commercial litigation such as the “But For” concept, lost profit damages, destruction of business damages, causation, reasonable certainty/speculation, and reasonable foreseeability/hindsight.

In addition, the panel will discuss underpinnings of damage theory such as the claimant’s past financial performance, and the ability of the claimant to penetrate the market or raise debt or equity capital. Finally, the panel will present a detailed case study illustrating many key Daubert issues and damages.

Please join Jim White and Carol Geisler of Jones Day; and Jeff Litvak and Jared Bourgeois of FTI’s Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment as they address these issues and your questions in a free webcast.
