Petrochemical and chemical industry expert witness experience.
Quincy Jones combines chemical engineering, process technology, market analysis and damages experience across commodity and specialty chemical businesses.
Technical and commercial issues across the chemical value chain
Chemical disputes can turn on the interaction between plant capabilities, feedstock availability, product balances, contract terms, market benchmarks and downstream demand. Quincy’s background spans both the physical industry and the commercial economics behind it.
- Olefins and derivatives, including ethylene and propylene
- Chlor-alkali, chlorine, caustic soda and EDC
- Polyurethanes, MDI and TDI
- Ethyleneamines, ethanolamines and related derivatives
- Polypropylene, polyethylene and other polymers
- Industrial gases, hydrogen, syngas and air separation
- Fertilizers and ammonia feedstock issues
- Specialty chemicals and process-technology matters
What an industry analysis may need to test
In damages and contract disputes, the central question is often not whether a spreadsheet can calculate a result, but whether the production, pricing and market assumptions are realistic.
Plant utilization & throughput
Nameplate capacity, historical operating rates, reliability, turnaround schedules, debottlenecking, product mix and feedstock constraints.
Pricing & market benchmarks
Contract indices, changes in market structure, regional supply-demand balances, alternative references and commercial reasonableness.
Lost profits & business interruption
Lost production, variable margins, operating costs, market absorption, mitigation and the commercial feasibility of the but-for case.
Engineering + markets + damages
Quincy’s early career included process engineering and technology work, followed by chemical-market advisory focused on supply, demand, pricing and investment. That combination supports analysis of disputes where technical and market assumptions are inseparable.
