About The Role

In Economic & Financial Consulting, we provide expert advice on economics, finance, valuation and accountancy, both in complex commercial disputes and in industries undergoing regulatory change. Our practice is structured around two key services areas:

• Valuation, Disputes and Arbitration — where we provide valuation advice relating to anything from large public companies to small family businesses, patents and complex financial derivatives. We are the leading expert firm in advising on valuations in the context of legal disputes heard before courts and tribunals worldwide. We also have specialist teams, including:
• Data and Economics team, focusing on applying economic, econometric and statistical analysis in projects with large data volumes, or where questions of cause-and-effect are important; and
• Capital Market Services team, providing complex financial instruments trading, valuation and risk management expertise. The team brings financial services and energy industry expertise in quantitative finance.
• Economic Regulatory, applying economic theory and in-depth experience to offer advice to 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?
• What is a fair way to distribute money to artists from streaming service royalties?
• How much could the average energy consumer save if the GB energy market design changed?
• How much is the brand name of a Premier League football club worth?
