What we do
We deliver incisive interpretations of complex economic issues. Our Economic Consulting business is a global leader in this field. We provide expert advice on economics, finance, valuation and accountancy, primarily in legal disputes and economic regulation.
Our clients include international law firms, FTSE 100 companies, multinational corporations, governments and regulators. As part of this business, you will help clients navigate legal, regulatory and international arbitration proceedings while supporting strategic decision-making and public policy debates around the world.
We specialise in two main areas:
- Providing valuation advice about anything from large public companies to patents and trademarks. We do all types of work, but in particular we are the leading firm in advising on valuation issues before courts and tribunals all around the world; and
- Economic regulatory advice, where we apply economic theory and in-depth experience to offer advice to both regulators and regulated companies on a wide range of issues.
We have offices in cities across the world, with more than 250 staff worldwide. In London, our EFC practice has more than 150 people and each year we look to recruit at least 15 graduates from any degree background.
