Job description

Analysis Group is one of the largest international economics consulting firms, with more than 1,500 professionals across 15 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. Since 1981, we have provided expertise in economics, finance, health care analytics, and strategy to top law firms, Fortune Global 500 companies, and government agencies worldwide. Our internal experts, together with our network of affiliated experts from academia, industry, and government, offer our clients exceptional breadth and depth of expertise.

Since 2026, Ricol Lasteyrie has joined Analysis Group, combining both firms’ economic, financial, non-financial, and strategic consulting expertise to offer an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to addressing complex strategic, financial, and regulatory challenges across Europe and globally.

Staff in the Paris office specialize in corporate finance, antitrust, competition, strategy, and public policy analysis. They manage cases in a wide range of sectors (technology companies, pharmaceuticals, insurance, transport, public services, media, mass retail, energy, etc.). The Corporate Finance practice provides expertise across four core areas:

• Strategic advisory (definition, assessment, and implementation of strategic priorities, supported by rigorous economic and financial analysis);
• M&A advisory (support throughout all stages of financing and M&A transactions, combining financial, strategic, and organizational expertise);
• Business & enterprise valuation (valuation of businesses, assets, and liabilities across a broad range of strategic and regulatory contexts);
• Special situations (support in situations involving financial distress, restructuring, or litigation, drawing on deep technical expertise and experience in complex situations).

Staff in the Paris office specialize in antitrust, competition, strategy, and public policy analysis. They manage cases in a wide range of sectors (technology companies, pharmaceuticals, insurance, transport, public services, media, mass retail, energy, etc.) relating to:

• Commercial disputes (development of theoretical economic reasoning on the potential impact of anti-competitive practices such as cartels, vertical restraints and abuse of dominant position, measurement of these practices on prices, estimation of damages due to an injured party);
• Economic assessment of mergers and acquisitions (assessment of effects on competition, data analysis, calculation of market shares and market studies as part of merger notification activities before the French Competition Authority or the European Commission);
• Government reforms (economic evaluation of regulations and the effectiveness of public aid through the development of before-and-after, double-difference econometric models, etc.);
• Corporate strategy (econometric analysis of demand, pricing strategy, growth strategies through analysis of market dynamics, innovation strategies, identification of growth markets).

Analysis Group fosters a work environment that is centered on delivering high quality work through teamwork and collaboration, best-in-class learning programs, and a culture of transparency, trust and respect.

In 2022, Analysis Group was ranked among the world leaders in competition economics by the Global Competition Review (GCR) and is among the 10 consulting firms worldwide with the best working conditions in 2023 according to Vault.
