Economic consulting that cuts through the noise. We translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insight — so you can move forward with confidence.
From courtroom testimony to boardroom strategy, we provide the analytical rigor and clear communication that complex situations demand.
Quantifying economic loss with precision. We prepare damages models, lost-profit analyses, and economic impact studies that hold up under scrutiny — and are easy for a jury to understand.
Forward-looking financial analysis that helps you anticipate risk, seize opportunity, and make decisions backed by data — not guesswork.
When the courtroom demands an economic voice, we provide clear, credible, and compelling testimony grounded in rigorous methodology and years of practical experience.
At Cordes, J Economic Consulting, we believe that economic analysis should never be a puzzle you need a decoder ring to solve. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, our practice is built on a simple principle: the numbers tell a story, and our job is to tell it clearly.
Whether you're navigating a high-stakes commercial dispute, preparing for arbitration, or planning a strategic financial move, we bring the same combination of analytical depth and practical wisdom to every engagement. We've worked alongside attorneys, C-suite executives, and institutional investors — and we know that clarity under pressure is what matters most.
Every model is double-checked. Every assumption is documented. We don't cut corners on accuracy.
We explain the "why" behind the numbers, not just the numbers themselves. No jargon without translation.
Local availability with the depth to handle cases anywhere — from district courts to federal arbitration.
We start by understanding your situation — the questions you need answered, the deadlines you're working against, and the stakes involved. No engagement begins without a clear map of what success looks like.
We collect, validate, and model the relevant data — financial statements, market benchmarks, industry reports, and any other inputs that shape the economic picture. Every source is documented.
Raw analysis means nothing without context. We translate findings into a clear narrative — with visual aids, executive summaries, and detailed appendices so every audience gets what they need.
Whether that means presenting to a judge, briefing counsel, or advising a board, we're with you through the entire process — including follow-up questions and rebuttal analysis if needed.
"The economic analysis was thorough, clearly presented, and made an enormous difference in how our case was received. The team at Cordes understood the nuances of our dispute from day one."
"We needed a financial forecast that could withstand intense scrutiny from opposing counsel. Cordes delivered a model that was both sophisticated and defensible — exactly what we needed at arbitration."
"What sets this firm apart is their ability to make complex economics accessible. Our clients — and the judge — understood the analysis immediately. That's rare, and it made all the difference."
