What we do Examples of some of our recent projects include: Quantifying the effect of regulatory changes in the solar power industry: We were engaged by a number of investors in solar power plants to assess the economic justification for changes to regulatory regimes that defined how their facilities were paid, and to quantify the impact of the changes on the value of their investments in those facilities. Valuation of an online gaming business: On behalf of a panel of banks we valued a minority interest in a global online gaming business as part of the restructuring of its owner, an insolvent investment fund. Quantifying losses following a patent infringement in respect of aircraft seating: We were engaged by the owner of patents for aircraft seating to estimate lost licensing income following an infringement of the patent owner's intellectual property rights. Our work also included proposing a reasonable royalty for the use of the rights, based on an analysis of economic benefits generated by the patents and comparisons with other, similar licences.
