Core Strengths
At Johan Sauer Actuaries & Consultants we compete in the specific areas in which we have competitive advantage. We are not everything to everyone.
We pride ourselves on our superiority of service in the following instances:
We normally serve attorneys specializing in this field of the law. However, we are willing to take on new clients and assist them in building practices, using tried and tested approaches and processes.
Our ultimate strength is the swiftness with which we compile high quality, accurate actuarial reports on written instruction. Our clients may assume by default that a first actuarial report in a case will be delivered within 12 working hours from receipt of complete information.
All recalculations on days of trial, denoting or pre-trial meetings are delivered within 2 working hours of receiving complete written instruction. It allows our clients supreme negotiating advantage on the steps of the court.
Clients are able to assume that we monitor our incoming e-mail and fax lines constantly, day and night, and we send confirmation of receipt by default.
We are prepared to take instruction from registered attorneys. We are willing to wait for payment, up to the date of settlement, judgement or abandonment but with a maximum of three years from our first work on a case. Thus, we work on a deferred payment basis, not on a contingency basis. The instructing attorney guarantees our fees regardless of outcome.
We contract with clients on a written basis only and are not set-up to accept verbal instruction.
We can proudly say that we decline to be involved when we suspect any fraudulent activity.
