Ocean Tomo, LLC operates in the financial services sector with a focus on advisory and valuation work related to intellectual property and other intangible assets. Its offerings span economic damage calculations, financial forensics, technology and intangible asset valuation, strategy and risk management consulting, mergers and acquisitions support, private debt and equity placements, and IP brokerage. The firm serves corporations, law firms, governments, and institutional investors seeking to monetize or manage intangible capital while meeting regulatory and reporting obligations. Founded in 2003, Ocean Tomo is based in Chicago, Illinois, and is part of J.S. Held, a global consulting organization providing technical, scientific, financial, and advisory services. Intangible assets are described as a major driver of business value, yet they face impairment risks tied to enterprise and regulatory factors, a line of work in which Ocean Tomo assists clients. In January 2026, the company announced the appointment of economist Nikki Tavasoli, reflecting continued expansion of its IP oriented capabilities.
