Early assessment
A preliminary assessment considers the potential scale of harm, the available data and the principal analytical challenges. It helps clients judge what further work is proportionate and where it will add most value.
Understand the harm. Assess the evidence.
A credible damages assessment explains how conduct affected the market, who may have suffered loss and how that loss can be assessed.
Competition disputes require a detailed understanding of pricing, costs, commercial relationships and market developments. The economic effects of an infringement may vary across products, customers and periods, and must be distinguished from other influences on performance.
We bring economic theory, empirical analysis and commercial evidence together to assess these effects and quantify any resulting loss. Our advice sets out the reasoning, alternative explanations and material uncertainties, giving counsel and businesses a sound basis for decisions throughout a matter.
