NERA is a 65-year-old economics consulting firm focused on high-stakes litigation and policy work, with domain expertise in antitrust, energy, transfer pricing, and financial damages. The tech stack is analyst-oriented—R, Stata, Python, MATLAB for quantitative work alongside Salesforce, Cvent, and Monday.com for operations—reflecting a research-heavy org where technical economists drive the value. Active hiring is concentrated in research (23 open roles) with steady junior-to-mid intake, and projects cluster around cartel damage quantification, merger review analysis, and antitrust case work.
NERA advises law firms, corporations, regulators, and governments on economic and financial questions in litigation and policy contexts. The firm operates in nine specialty areas spanning antitrust and competition, bankruptcy, labor, energy, health care, intellectual property, securities, and transfer pricing. With a 501–1,000 person footprint headquartered in New York and hiring across the US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Sweden, and New Zealand, NERA combines field-leading economic expertise with forensic analysis capabilities. Current workstreams include high-profile antitrust cases, damage quantification for alleged cartels, merger review analysis, and energy policy evaluation, with expansion efforts in Nordic markets.
