CRA’s Finance Practice consultants use their expertise in finance, accounting, and economics to help their clients address significant legal and regulatory issues. Typically, we are retained to quantify economic damages in the context of large, complex commercial litigation matters. Our work often requires the development of fact-specific financial models to help our clients effectively resolve disputes involving valuation issues (shareholder class actions and other corporate valuation disputes), as well as matters regarding the functioning of financial markets and institutions (alleged market manipulation and insider trading). The analyses are summarized in the form of an expert report, which sets forth our conclusory opinions (including the underlying analytical support for those opinions) in court. Senior Associates and Associate Principals (candidates with 5+ years of relevant post-PhD experience) work closely with senior consultants on project teams. Successful candidates have a strong working knowledge of financial, accounting, and economic concepts and a range of research and quantitative skills.
