Who we are

Corrigere means “to make straight, or put right,” and that’s exactly what we do. In wildfire civil cost recovery cases, fire suppression agencies submit billing packages that are often complex, technical and prone to human error. Those errors can translate into millions of dollars of unnecessary liability.

We partner with attorneys and adjusters representing clients in these cases, carefully auditing these suppression costs. And with decades of leadership in fire suppression, operations, finance and investigations, we know how these costs are built, where mistakes are likely to occur and how to identify them.

Corrigere ensures costs are accurate and appropriate, helping our clients protect their clients’ interests with confidence.
