Energy Expert Witness Testimony

Our testifying experts include PhD economists, mathematicians and statisticians, accounting and finance professionals, and energy industry practitioners who are leading experts in their field.

We have successfully provided expert witness testimony for industry participants throughout the energy supply chain.

• Oil and gas: Our clients include exploration and production companies, oil field service companies, midstream companies, pipelines, refiners, wholesalers, and retailers.
• Power: Our clients include RTOs, transmission and distribution utilities, public power agencies, independent power producers, investors and lenders, competitive retail providers, trading and marketing companies, trade groups, and large end-use customers.

Our comprehensive suite of commercial and proprietary models of the oil, gas, and power industries allows our experts to provide convincing expert witness testimony about the impact of events on market outcomes to support liability and damages claims or to assess changes in competitive dynamics resulting from mergers and acquisition.

Moreover, because of our direct involvement in the design and implementation of many markets around the globe, CRA brings deep insights into developing litigation strategy and credibility in testimony.

When contracts are terminated and claims are asserted against collateral, energy companies face difficult valuation and ownership issues. In addition, effective evaluation of market manipulation claims requires experience with the full range of financial and physical transactions in the client’s book. CRA has vast experience in this arena, including contract and collateral valuation, and valuation and management of swaps, exotic options, long-dated derivatives, transmission rights, emission credits, and congestion rights.
