MASS TORT LITIGATION ∙ VALUATION ∙ FORECASTING ∙ SINCE 1987

Mass tort litigation raises legal questions that require a trusted research partner with the intellectual rigor, analytical capacity, and integrity to reliably put uncertainty to rest and provide objective, transparent, and actionable answers.

Since 1987, LAS’s experts in law, the social sciences, statistics, and data systems have been at the forefront of determining present and future liability in bankruptcies, negotiations, and litigation settlement trusts. LAS lends clarity to complex problems through objective and reproducible forecasting, reports, and expert testimony.

Deep knowledge spanning disciplines

THE LAS ADVANTAGE

While many firms offer statistical analysis, our principals collectively have over 100 years of experience specializing in forecasting mass tort liability.

That means less time spent on getting your consultants up to speed and a more rigorous, in-depth final product.

EXPERTISE BORN OF LONG EXPERIENCE

We’ve carefully curated our team of experts to have complementary areas of expertise. From statistics, to social psychology, law, history, survey science, data systems, research, and programming, our broad capabilities offer clients a comprehensive approach to their needs.

AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM

As a boutique firm focused squarely on claims estimation, every case receives our full attention and expertise.

We can anticipate the specific needs of each case and how to best tailor deliverables for maximum impact.

TAILORED DELIVERABLES. MAXIMUM IMPACT.

All too often, without proper contextualization, purely quantitative analyses end up as stand-ins for facts or circumstances. Our strong understanding of legal processes allows us to contextualize our analytics, putting voice to why certain claims have more value than others and therefore providing more reliable and accurate results.
