Antitrust & Competition Policy

The LECG global competition policy practice is a multinational and multifunctional team of economists and econometricians. Many member of the LECG team are ex-officials of antitrust authorities or world-renowned scholars in economics, class certification, and antitrust. The practice has teams in most major antitrust jurisdictions around the world including the European Community, the United States, Latin America, and the Asia Pacific region including China. Because LECG economists have experience before multiple authorities around the world, they are frequently asked to handle multi-jurisdictional matters including ones that entail the deployment of teams in the United States, the European Community, and several Asian Pacific jurisdictions on the same or similar matters.

LECG’s global competition policy practice is comprised of nearly 60 experts with outstanding qualifications, extensive experience, and first-hand knowledge of competition and regulatory proceedings. Many of them came to LECG from high ranking agency positions including two recent directors and a deputy director of the US Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Economics, as well as authorities outside the United States including the European Commission, and authorities in Portugal, China, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.

Our regional presence ensures that we’re attuned to the requirements of the local competition institutions and parties involved. Additionally, our multi-jurisdictional knowledge base gives us a broader perspective when applying general economic principles. As a result, our analyses always reflect the best international practices in the application of economic theory and econometric techniques to competition policy.

LECG antitrust and competition policy experts have extensive experience in all aspects of the litigation arena, including discovery requests and responses, damages calculations, expert reports, and depositions and trial testimony. And, as always, the tools, analysis and high professional standards that characterize our work are a constant in our expert advice, reports, and academic writings.
