On May 6, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. (ET), The TASA Group, in conjunction with forensic economist Nora Ostrofe, presented a one-hour, interactive webinar presentation, Valuing Damages in Labor and Employment Cases: Discrimination | Fair Pay Act | Wrongful Termination | Class Action, for all legal professionals.
During this presentation, Nora Ostrofe discussed:
• The fundamentals of how economists calculate damage claims in discrimination, Fair Pay Act, wrongful termination, and class action (including wage and hour) cases.
• 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.
• Class action cases frequently require management and analysis of voluminous and frequently disorderly data sets.
• Perspectives that experts can take that influence value.
• Useful practice pointers, such as: minimizing economic expert fees; obtaining economic data through discovery from recalcitrant opposing counsel; and how to depose and cross examine economic experts.
