NERA Economic Consulting Economics logo

NERA Economic Consulting
Berlin - Germany
S: Competitive

NERA Economic Consulting is a global firm of experts dedicated to applying economic, finance, and quantitative principles to complex business and legal challenges. For over half a century, NERA’s economists have been creating strategies, studies, reports, expert testimony, and policy recommendations for regulatory authorities, governments and the world’s leading law firms and corporations. NERA serves clients from over 20 offices across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Competition work consists of economic research typically arising in the context of (alleged) competition law infringements and the review of mergers and acquisitions. Alleged competition law infringements of EU or national competition laws, may involve price fixing or the abuse of dominance. In these matters, NERA’s experts work in a variety of capacities, including conducting empirical analyses to determine whether economic evidence supports the claims of either side, and estimating damages caused by the violations.

The review of mergers and acquisitions involves conducting economic research to assess whether a proposed transaction is likely to increase market power and harm consumers. In these cases, NERA experts work with merging parties, the European Commission, national competition authorities or other regulators to quantify the likely competitive effects of a transaction. This work can occur as part of a review process conducted by the regulatory authorities or in court.

NERA’s experts also advise on competition policy and regularly provide input to the development of guidelines and the general competition policy debate.

We currently have a need for a consultant or senior consultant as part of our European Competition practice based in Berlin. NERA's European Competition practice has advised on numerous high profile European, German and French as well as other national cases including, but not limited to, mergers and acquisitions, cartels, damage quantification, abuse of dominance, vertical and horizontal agreements and state aid.

Candidates would hold a Masters (or PhD) in Economics, Econometrics or a related discipline with a strong academic record and have between 5 and 9 years of prior relevant experience. The ideal candidate would have prior consulting and competition policy experience in Germany and on an EU level. Candidates should enjoy solving analytical and empirical problems, demonstrate strong business development and relationship management skills, have exceptional creative, critical thinking and technical skills, as well as excellent oral and written communication skills in English and German. Additional fluency in other European languages is preferred but is not required. All candidates must hold work eligibility rights for the EU.
