IN-DEPTH ECONOMIC ANALYSES OF ISSUES RELATING TO ANTITRUST, COMPETITION AND CLASS ACTION MATTERS
Our work is used to obtain or defend class certification,
determine liability, quantify economic damages and identify the competitive
effects of proposed mergers and acquisitions. We do this by integrating
econometrics, accounting rules, industry expertise, industrial organization
theory and quantitative analytical methods to understand the conduct and market
dynamics at issue in these matters. We help clients develop case strategies,
prepare economic submissions to authorities, assess exposure, calculate damages
and prepare and present expert reports.
Our focus areas include cartels, direct action opt-out matters, monopolization & exclusionary practices, mergers & acquisitions, vertical restraints, data breach matters,mass torts, and securities.
Antitrust, competition and class action disputes often require extensive analysis of complex data. We use our training and experience in economics and econometrics to manage and analyze datasets, including, for example, complex transaction-level sales data, healthcare and life sciences databases, private and public insurers' databases, and data maintained by mortgage servicer providers.
