Key Responsibilities
- CRA's European Competition practice specialises in providing economic advice on matters of competition policy and regulation. We assist firms and their legal advisors in all types of competition proceedings: firms considering merger and acquisition opportunities or involved in merger control proceedings; and firms undergoing investigations relating to cartels, restrictive commercial agreements, abuse of dominance or state aid. We also provide advice to firms involved in regulatory proceedings and sector inquiries, and assist on the estimation effects of damages in cartel cases, international arbitration and intellectual property disputes.
- We seek a Principal in our Brussels office to work with those testifying in judicial proceedings to provide economic analyses of mergers and other competition matters before the major competition authorities of the world. Principals have the unique opportunity to learn from, and work alongside, some of the most respected scholars, specialists, and industry experts in the world. We employ tools such as merger simulation, upward pricing pressure analysis, econometrics, bargaining theory, or game theory to tailor our analyses to the facts of each case. Whether before a court or a regulatory agency, CRA consultants set a high standard for the clear communication of sophisticated economic analysis in complex cases. You will have access to internal training programs focused on creative problem solving, communications, and leading and managing colleagues, teams and cases. Principals may:
- Work closely with leading academics and consult with attorneys and other clients in industry and government on a wide variety of finance, strategy and economics issues;
- Conduct research in a supportive, team-oriented environment;
- Act as a primary point of contact for clients and shape, develop and present client deliverables including expert reports summarising our opinions, conclusions, and recommendations and third party financial, market and industry data;
- Independently conceptualise and identify issues, design complex economic and financial models to analyze economic and financial data;
- Oversee analysis in statistical analysis programs (such as Stata, SAS, R or Python);
- Manage the research process, and supervise, train and mentor teams;
- Ensure the integrity and accuracy of analyses and opinions;
- Drive practice-building activities (training, recruiting, publication, expertise sharing, etc.).
Requirements
- Good first degree in economics and a postgraduate degree qualification (MSc/MPhil or PhD/DPhil) from well-regarded institutions with focused study in economics or a related specialisation (microeconomics, industrial organisation, and/or statistics/econometrics);
- Extensive and relevant experience (10+ years), competition policy/economic consulting experience preferred;
- Senior candidates should be able to demonstrate an ability to manage more junior colleagues and to have extensive client contact at an early stage;
- Fluency in English;
- Extensive executive client presence, proven revenue creation and interaction skills;
