Featured work - PPA dispute in Asia
London Economics International LLC was contracted by a major international law firm to serve as an expert on the power industry in Asia. The arbitration matter revolved around a major international energy company's purchase of a set of independent power projects. Subsequent to the close of the transaction, amendments to certain power purchase agreements (PPAs) were discovered which the acquiring company deemed to have resulted in material damages to the company.

London Economics was asked to assess the damage claim made by the acquiring company. In developing a case strategy, London Economics met with our client's attorneys to consider and develop arguments to be used in the arbitration proceeding. Below is a list of the some of the tasks completed by our firm in the matter:
  • Created a financial model to value damages arising from the undisclosed contract amendments
