Overview
Who We AreCornerstone Research provides economic and financial
consulting and expert testimony in all phases of complex disputes
and regulatory investigations. The firm works with an extensive
network of prominent academics and industry practitioners to
identify the best-qualified expert for each assignment. With a
reputation for high quality and effectiveness, Cornerstone Research
has consistently delivered rigorous, state-of-the-art analysis
since 1989. The firm has more than 1,000 professionals in nine
offices across the United States, UK, and EU. Cornerstone Research
is involved in a broad variety of high-profile legal cases and
disputes. Current matters focus on such topics as capital markets,
business and securities valuation, M&A and corporate events,
risk management, market competition, high-frequency trading, the
impact of marketing on consumers, and patent infringement. For
example, we address issues affecting the ongoing development of
financial markets, such as applying frameworks at the intersection
of finance and industrial organization economics to evaluate price
setting in derivative markets. Beyond financial markets, we address
financial economics issues arising in a range of other sectors,
from such innovation- driven industries as life sciences and high
technology to energy, telecommunications, and industrial markets.
We address economic issues when evaluating potential mergers,
claims of anticompetitive conduct, and the impact of intellectual
property infringement. We also address marketing and economic
issues arising in cases with allegations of misleading marketing or
false claims. More detail can be found on our website:

training to devise and apply innovative and rigorous analytical
approaches to interesting real-world issues. The outcomes of our
cases can have a direct and immediate impact on public policy and
corporate strategy. While many Summer Associates choose to spend
their summer with us, the timing and duration of this position is
flexible and can be arranged any time over the summer or during the
academic year.
