Your work may also extend to preparing reports for regulatory agencies, advising legal teams, or supporting testimony in court proceedings. These projects are typically highly analytical and require collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including lawyers, data scientists, and other economists. The cases you handle can range from local market inquiries to major international competition matters, offering both variety and intellectual challenge.
