Our Antitrust and Competition Economics - China practice is an acknowledged leader in providing economic analysis, advice, and testimony for antitrust and merger cases worldwide. This role will focus primarily on China competition matters, while also offering opportunities to support a variety of projects across the broader Antitrust & Competition Economics practice. CRA economists have a deep understanding not only of competition economics, but also of China's culture, social and economic environment, and legislative and procedural complexities. Our experts have extensive practical experience in China, including working on both sides of the table with the Chinese antitrust agency, and testifying in antitrust and Intellectual Property litigation matters in various Chinese courts. In our work assisting clients with China's merger reviews and antitrust investigations, we combine global expertise and pioneering empirical and theoretical approaches with local in-depth knowledge and experience working with local regulatory agencies. In our litigation and arbitration work in China, CRA economists are at the frontier of introducing and enhancing the use of economics analysis in antitrust and intellectual property disputes in China. We instill consistent rigor to our work, while bringing in creativity and flexibility in dealing with jurisdiction-specific issues. Associates have the unique opportunity to work alongside, and learn from, some of the most respected scholars, specialists, and industry experts in the world. A typical Associate would:

  • Perform economic analyses to support case theories

Additional leadership and collaboration opportunities exist through internal firm development activities.
