Overview
Who We AreCornerstone Research is a leading economic and financial
consulting firm with more than 900 staff members across nine
offices. Together with an extensive network of internationall
prominent faculty, we conduct rigorous, objective research applying
the highest standards from academia to address complex financial,
econimic, accounting, and marketing issues that arise in litigation
and regulartory investigation. Cornerstone Research is involved in
a broad variety of high-profile legal cases and disputes. Current
matters focus on such topics as capital markets, business and
securities valuation, M&A and corporate events, risk
management, market competition, high-frequency trading, the impact
of marketing on consumers, and patent infringement. For example, we
address issues affecting the ongoing development of financial
markets, such as applying frameworks at the intersection of finance
and industrial organization economics to evaluate price setting in
derivative markets. Beyond financial markets, we address financial
economics issues arising in a range of other sectors, from such
innovation- driven industries as life sciences and high technology
to energy, telecommunications, and industrial markets. We address
economic issues when evaluating potential mergers, claims of
anticompetitive conduct, and the impact of intellectual property
infringement. We also address marketing and economic issues arising
in cases with allegations of misleading marketing or false claims.
