Additional Information

Dr. Sean T. Malone helps attorneys address complex issues involving economics, finance, statistics, and large datasets. He focuses on class actions, consumer fraud, financial services, discrimination, antitrust, economic damages, and other matters where quantitative evidence is central to the dispute. He applies econometric, statistical, and financial methods to evaluate causation, damages, class-wide approaches, liability, and regulatory issues. His work includes evaluating the reliability of quantitative evidence, including whether: statistical samples are representative, assumptions are supported by the evidence, and conclusions can be reliably generalized to broader populations. He frequently assesses competing methodologies and critiques of statistical, economic, and financial analyses.
