Our Competition litigation consulting team has provided expert opinions on major antitrust legal actions against Big Tech (including Apple, Amazon, and Facebook), Big Pharma, Big Finance, and Big Agriculture.

• Verbally present key findings to clients in a manner that allows them to understand both the results and their implications.
• Write periodic blogs exploring new and developing competition economic themes.
• Respond to client requests in a timely and helpful fashion.
• Depending on experience, mentor new analysts on report writing and presentations.
• Maintain accurate records of all billable hours spent on each project.

• MSc in Economics or an equivalent qualification (Undergraduate degree in Economics considered)
• Passion for competition policy and market regulation, with a strong desire to address corporate misconduct and correct market distortions
• Some work experience in an economic consultancy or at a regulator (for more experienced applicants)
• Knowledge of key competition economics topics
• The ability to write insightful reports and express complex issues in simple, understandable terms for non-specialists
• Strong analytical skills, able to identify core issues in complex problems

• Experience with web-scraping is useful
• Integrity, curiosity, and creativity
• Strong PC skills including Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and Bloomberg
• Initiative and continuous process improvement mindset
• Responsiveness to client needs and solution-oriented approach
• Focus on delivery and project completion
• Confidence to express opinions and propose new solutions
