McClave + Associates

What McClave + Associates does

McClave + Associates (legal entity McClave and Associates, LLC) is a Gainesville, Florida-based expert consulting firm that was established in July 2023 when it was separated from Info Tech, Inc. The firm continues the practice previously operated as Infotech Consulting since 1977, specializing in statistical and econometric analysis for complex litigation, with particular depth in antitrust matters, class certification support, damages quantification, and bid rigging detection in public procurement. Its named roster includes Founder Dr. Jim McClave (PhD Statistics, 1971, University of Florida), CEO Dr. Jamie McClave Baldwin, CFO Andrew Uelsmann, and experts including Dr. Kevin W. Caves and Rob Kneuper; the team collectively reports more than 500 years of consulting experience and holds advanced degrees across statistics, economics, law, data science, mathematics, and engineering.

The firm's core deliverable is expert witness consulting and testimony. It develops multiple regression models (forecasting and dummy variable models) to measure price elevation in alleged anticompetitive conduct, builds custom class-member databases via internally developed software (including tools from a 2018 Hack-A-Thon), and applies computerized bid rigging detection methods originally built for the Florida Attorney General in 1977. Underlying technology rests on SAS Studio and adjacent data management environments for cleaning, modeling, and economic damage estimation across datasets that have spanned more than 1 billion transactions and over $80 billion in revenue in individual matters such as the Cathode Ray Tube price-fixing case.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services fees negotiated on a case-by-case basis with plaintiffs' counsel, defense counsel, and government agencies (state attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and state departments of transportation). The go-to-market is sales-led, with no self-service or product distribution motion; client acquisition is driven by reputation, referrals, and relationships built over nearly five decades of practice. Notable case outcomes cited include $800M+ in CRT settlements, $386.5M recovered in GSE Bonds litigation, $101.35M for West Virginia DOT (largest single-state antitrust settlement in that state's history), and a contribution to nearly $3B in total opioid recovery for the State of Florida. McClave + Associates is a privately held Florida LLC with no external investors and no disclosed funding rounds.
