Financial Analysis / Advisory Services

While the global economy continues to evolve, the nature of business is unchanged. Successful enterprises are those that maximize revenue by targeting high probability markets, limiting costs, and providing a superior product or service. This relies on the principle of profitability and is founded on informed financial decision-making. Our team strives to find creative solutions by not limiting ourselves to traditional financial strategies. We focus not only on the ones and zeros but also the practical considerations facing businesses seeking to improve long-standing operations, considering a start-up venture or in the context of a merger or acquisition.

Hospitality / Gaming Consulting

Travel and tourism is a rapidly expanding sector of the global economy. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent annually on leisure, business and special-events travel, making it an important element of every major economy on the planet. For traditional casino-gaming markets like Las Vegas, emerging markets like Macau and Singapore, and the ever-evolving Internet gaming sector, understanding consumers' propensities and the viability of new markets is essential. Our professionals have provided gaming consulting services to both the public and private sector. We have assisted these groups in assessing the potential market for gaming operations, understanding where the market may be well into the future, and how its expansion or decline may impact the host jurisdiction.

Litigation Support / Expert Analysis

Given the complex nature of litigation and dispute analysis, it is necessary to understand all angles of questions presented. While plaintiffs and defendants tend to focus most of their time on a single perspective, it is imperative that expert research, analysis and testimony consider the position of both the plaintiff and the defendant. We have long maintained a position of independence, which we feel is critical to our litigation support practice. Our team of experts has technical and real-world expertise in a broad range of topics and has put those skills to work for plaintiffs and defendants. Our experts maintain strict confidentiality, professionalism and diligence on all assignments. Internal databases and proprietary market research provide our experts with an edge over others in the field.

Sound and credible market research remains the hallmark of a successful investment or public policy decision. Our professionals are skilled in designing survey instruments and techniques to generate reliable, statistically significant and insightful feedback from the general public or a targeted group of customers.

Public Policy Analysis

Public policy decisions can impact a community's largest corporations and its youngest citizens. They create the rules by which our society functions; and, like our economy, they are constantly evolving. Everyday governments make choices regarding how and where development will take place; where roads, parks, and police stations will be built; or how social programs will be funded. Elected officials, staff and management are forced to pool limited resources to evaluate the merit of difficult options - with the potential to impact millions. Public policy impacts are rarely limited to the monetary outcome on their surface. Rather, the economic and social impacts of a decision can often create the more substantial policy implication. We attempt to take a more holistic approach to public policy analysis hoping to create a clearer picture of how the agency, policy, or other change will impact our client and our community.
