CRA is subject to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based on current knowledge, CRA has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to the eventuality of such actions. CRA does not believe any settlement or judgment relating to any pending legal action would materially affect its financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of such legal actions is inherently unpredictable and subject to inherent uncertainties.

While CRA has not experienced a material adverse impact to its business, financial condition or results of operations from the COVID-19 pandemic to date, there is uncertainty about client demand for the Company’s services, the worldwide economy and consequently, the financial results for the current quarter may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The timing of ongoing projects and new project originations may be delayed or otherwise disrupted due to the length and severity of current business closures and other restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19, which may impact the timing and amount of future revenues. The magnitude of any impact on CRA's business and its duration is uncertain and cannot currently be reasonably estimated at this time. CRA is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or adjustments to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2020, the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
