Litigation

The Music and Entertainment Valuation Services group is frequently called upon to perform damages analysis and provide testimony for copyright infringement lawsuits in music publishing and recording. As part of this work, damages for both traditional and digital infringement across media types are evaluated. We thoroughly assess and describe the relevant market, including all present levers as well as our client’s market position. Utilizing our expertise and credibility, we consistently aid clients in achieving successful outcomes to contract disputes through affirmation or rebuttal of damage assessments.
