We provide economic analysis and advice across sectors for private clients, public bodies and regulators.
Competition economics
Mergers and acquisitions
We advise merging parties through the full life of a transaction, from early-stage risk assessment through to notification and clearance, building the economic evidence needed to secure timely approval. In complex cases, we also assist competition authorities with independent economic analysis.

We support private companies responding to market studies and sector inquiries, from assessing market dynamics and evidence requests to shaping economic submissions that address the authority’s concerns.
Cartels
We help firms build and test theories of harm, estimate damages, and develop robust economic evidence for cartel litigation and investigations.
Abuse of dominance
We advise on abuse of dominance rules, helping parties bring complaints against firms with substantial market power, and helping firms with substantial market power defend investigations and litigation.

We advise public bodies and private clients on the design and assessment of state aid measures, including compatibility analysis and market economy operator tests.
