“I’m thrilled to recognize the hard work, creativity, and dedication of these consultants,” said Martha S.

In this matter, Ms. Comeaux led a team in support of multiple experts who assessed the extent to which the fee disclosures in Comcast’s advertisements affected consumer behavior, evaluated the industry and competitive environment, and evaluated the plaintiffs’ experts’ method for estimating damages.
  • Supported Intuit in a deceptive advertising lawsuit (Federal Trade Commission [FTC] v. Intuit Inc.). Ms. Comeaux led the support of the experts’ court submissions rebutting claims made by the FTC and its marketing and surveys experts.

Ms. Comeaux is also a leader of Analysis Group’s affinity group AGWomen+ and active in the firm’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

In ERISA litigation, he has evaluated investment performance, fees, portfolio management, mutual funds, and stable value funds. In wholesale electric power markets, Mr. Korman has contributed key analyses and testimony to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in several M&A and other competition-related proceedings.
