Corporate Profile

"Great to have a local presence in Atlantic Canada with Halifax office and Dr. Strain in New Brunswick. Having Dr. Strain, I can't help but think he will add another dimension to your service in this area. I have found the distance dealing with BEC to be a non-existent problem, and in fact have taken advantage of the time difference on occasion when dealing with the Calgary office."

"I was most pleased with BEC's recent work on a fatal injury case. The report was very helpful in content and format, and became a pivotal document in settlement discussions. The judge presiding over the settlement conference also commented that he found the report thorough, comprehensive and fair. "

Regarding Cara Brown's book Damages: Estimating Pecuniary Loss

"This looks like a marvelous piece of work. I haven't seen anything comparable to your book. What you have managed to do is integrate the legal/academic treatment into your own work on quantification."

"This is a broadly based text covering the assessment of damages in such cases as sexual harrassment, wrongful dismissal, wrongful confinement and wrongful death. The author give quidelines as to the cost of raising children, assumptions which matter and tips in industry issues. The reader is told how to work with expert witnesses and how to establish lost earning capacity. The case law covers such differences as exist between the different provinces. The importance of this book to the trial lawyer is that it draws together all facets of damages quantification."

"We thank you very much for your assistance in preparing your expert opinions to date. As always, they were instrumental in negotiating the favourable settlement on behalf of our client. Thank you."

"The report they produced was one of the best damages I've ever seen, after almost 30 years in this business."

"Thanks to you and your colleagues at BEC for all the help you have given us in this difficult case. It is wonderful to work with such a professional and competent organization."

"Please accept my heartfelt thank you to you and your staff for all the hard work that went into my settlement and especially how quickly it got resolved. It was a pleasure working with you and I truly believe I had Calgary's version of the "Dream Team". Thank you very much for a job well done."

"Her work in that (David Milgaard) case was exemplary and most appreciated."

"(Developing an economic model to predict NHL draft position) was a very innovative approach and very useful in bringing this matter to a resolution."
