• State and Federal Equal Pay Act, and Title VII discrimination cases often require detailed calculations of compensation with, and without, discrimination.

• Wrongful termination wage loss claims, or calculations of back pay and front pay, can be quite challenging.

• Perspectives that experts can take that influence value.
