Sometimes Litigation is Unavoidable
A lender is suing performer Chris Brown for repayment of a $2 million bank loan. A game designer has sued Netflix for breach of contract, alleging the game they designed was canceled, but the world created for the game is being used. A Florida ad company has called itself X Social Media for years. Now it is suing X, formerly known as Twitter, alleging lost revenues due to the defendant’s name change. The parties in all these cases have at least one thing in common: they need damages experts who can perform forensic accounting services and damage analyses to support their positions.
