We are the leading expert firm in advising on valuations in the context of legal disputes heard before courts and tribunals all around the world. We also have specialist teams, including: (i) a Data and Economics team, that focusses on applying economic, econometric and statistical analysis in projects with large volumes of data, or where questions of cause-and-effect are important; and (ii) a Capital Market Services team, that provides complex financial instruments trading, valuation and risk management expertise. The team brings financial services and energy industry expertise in quantitative finance.
- Economic Regulatory, where we apply economic theory and in-depth experience to offer advice to both regulators and regulated companies on a wide range of issues.
Our clients include international law firms, FTSE 100 companies, multinational corporations, governments and regulators. We work on varied and challenging assignments across a wide range of industries, including financial services, energy and renewables, healthcare, and telecoms.
Examples of questions our clients have asked us:
- What impact did Uber have on the earnings of Black Cab drivers in London?
