About Brown Economic

Who We Are

Brown Economic Consulting is an economic consulting firm with offices in Alberta, BC, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. We specialize in the quantification of damages arising from incidents that interrupt earnings such as personal injury, wrongful confinement or imprisonment, wrongful death, wrongful dismissal, sexual assault or medical malpractice and divorce. Unusual actions such as opression, sterilization, defamation and false arrest represent some of the firm’s more interesting assignments. Labour economic topics and damages resulting from agricultural disputes or trade barriers, in addition to forecasting agricultural demand, supply and prices in world markets, form the remainder of the firm’s work. Since 1991, we have prepared over 20,000 economic assessments and testified in court on more than 150 occasions throughout Canada and the United States.

Brown Economic Consulting completes work for both plaintiffs and defendants and has been concurrently retained by counsel on many occasions. In trials, Brown Economic’s reports have been accepted into evidence by counsel’s joint agreement on 12 occasions without the need for the principal expert witness to testify.
