About the Role
Our Economic and Financial Consulting team helps our clients navigate legal, regulatory and international arbitration proceedings while supporting strategic decision making and public policy debates around the world. Delivering incisive interpretation of complex economic issues has made us a global leader in this field. Our team includes economists, accountants, valuation professionals, MBAs and econometricians.
Our economists, accountants and finance experts draw on a diverse set of skills to answer a wide range of economic and financial questions, often in the context of legal disputes.
We work on varied and challenging assignments across a wide spectrum of industries. We work with international law firms, global conglomerates and FTSE 100 companies, governments and regulators.
We have significant expertise in the valuation of businesses, intellectual property, financial products, and other assets. We are the leading firm in the provision of expert evidence on valuation issues and the quantification of economic losses before courts and tribunals all around the world. We also provide valuation services for commercial, reporting, and regulatory purposes, for example, in the context of licensing, investment appraisal, fiscal valuation, and transfer pricing.
Examples of some of our recent projects include:
- Valuation of a company in the retail sector:
We valued minority interests in a company owning and operating a landmark shopping mall, pursuant to the court finding that the company's minority shareholders were unfairly prejudiced by its largest shareholder.
- Quantifying losses arising from mismanagement of funds:
We were engaged to assess the economic loss suffered by plaintiffs who alleged that their funds and investments were fraudulently mismanaged by a fund manager over several years.
- Japan Republic of Korea interconnector:
We were engaged by a developer of a high voltage, direct current transmission cable (or interconnector) used to facilitate the trade of electricity between Japan and the Republic of Korea. We modelled the interconnector's: (i) likely revenues; (ii) impact on socio-economic welfare; and (iii) effect on the curtailment of renewable generation.
