Complex Damages

Roy Epstein specializes in developing and critiquing proofs of liability and damages for complex cases that require masterful application of economics, econometric modeling, and financial analysis. His approach combines state-of-the-art academic work in antitrust, intellectual property, and damages with years of experience as a partner with some of the most prominent national litigation support firms.

Dr. Epstein holds a PhD in Economics from Yale University and is Adjunct Professor of Finance at Boston College. He has served as an economic expert witness and consultant for leading law firms throughout the US and abroad for nearly 20 years.

He has published and lectured extensively on patent damages, including analysis of the Georgia-Pacific factors, the market share rule for lost profits, and price erosion from patent infringement. In addition, Dr. Epstein is the inventor, with his coauthor Dan Rubinfeld at UC Berkeley, of the PCAIDS simulation method to analyze potential price effects of mergers.

Prof. James Heckman, winner of the 2000 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, has written that Dr. Epstein's insightful approach to econometrics "serves to define a new field of knowledge."

Dr. Epstein's clients appreciate his personal attention, outstanding efficiency, and wealth of experience in applying economic concepts to real-world legal disputes. Please click for more information about his background and practice.
