Our Capabilities

In private antitrust litigation and agency enforcement actions, we have evaluated the competitive impact of proposed mergers and acquisitions and analyzed the economic effects of competitive conduct. Our work includes pretrial discovery support and expert testimony on behalf of clients under investigation by government agencies. We have also provided economic analyses for government agencies, including the US Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission.

Our experts have supported clients in disputes in a variety of contexts, from appraisal and valuation matters to high-profile intellectual property litigation in the music, television, film, and other media industries. We have also provided strategic and economic support with respect to rulemaking proceedings.
