We are keen to speak to Economists interested in joining our Competition practice. Our Competition team works closely with clients and legal counsel, providing a mix of strategic advice and technical support. We assist in pre-empting issues, producing and responding to technical analysis, preparing client submissions and expert reports, and giving oral evidence. The latest examples of our work can be found below:

• Accurately delivering work scoped by others using a range of techniques.
• Engaging professionally with clients; actively listening and understanding their perspectives and needs.
• Identifying how the relevant economic framework, as set out by project managers, will address the case.
• Applying relevant core micro theory and empirical techniques across various Competition projects.
• Delivering high-quality technical work by applying best practices.
• Identifying key results from analysis that will prove or disprove key hypotheses.
• Adapting written work to the target audience in style and level of information.
• Supporting peers in preparing well-structured, clear, client deliverables.

Although this role mainly focuses on Competition projects, we strongly encourage all Economists to work across Frontier’s different practice areas – promoting ‘fungibility’. This benefits both individuals and the firm, and is core to maintaining our values and culture.

We offer stimulating project work and numerous benefits, including Learning & Development opportunities and ongoing Career Development Reviews with a dedicated Mentor.

We value work/life balance and offer flexible working arrangements, including working from home. Additionally, we provide days of annual leave with the option to purchase more.

Frontier is entirely owned by its employees. As Shareholders, everyone can influence company decisions and participate in profit sharing through bonuses. We also offer a highly competitive salary.
