In 2026, NERA is celebrating 65 years of shaping industries and policy around the world. Founded in 1961 as National Economic Research Associates, we pioneered the economic consulting industry and have never stopped defining it. As a subsidiary of Marsh—a Fortune 250 company—we operate with the agility of a privately held firm while drawing on the support, resources, and global reach of a multibillion-dollar network. Today, more than 500 professionals work across major cities in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific, serving the world's leading law firms, corporations, regulators, and governments on their highest-stakes challenges. Our reputation for excellence, innovation, and cross-border, cross-industry collaboration continues to make us the firm of choice when the questions are hardest and the consequences most consequential.

NERA is composed of in-house experts and academic affiliates who draw on backgrounds spanning economics, finance, law, government, regulatory agencies, and academia. Our practitioners are not generalists—they are field-leading specialists who work together across disciplines, borders, and capabilities as integrated, multidisciplinary teams. What unites every one of us is a steadfast commitment to objectivity and intellectual honesty. We are life-long learners who push the standards of excellence and maintain uncompromising independence in everything we produce. Our leaders are practicing economic professionals—recognized experts in their own right—who guide the firm's strategy while remaining fully accessible to clients and colleagues alike. At NERA, the expert you hire is the expert who does the work.

We provide expert analysis, research, testimony, and consulting in economics, finance, and strategy to help businesses, policymakers, and governments resolve the most complex challenges of the day. Our work spans competition and antitrust, regulation, public policy, commercial litigation, damages estimation, valuation, and strategic finance. We bring academic rigor and real-world experience to bear through a sophisticated analytical toolkit—big data and cloud computing, econometrics, statistical sampling, regulatory economics, and advanced valuation techniques—to deliver findings that are credible before juries, judges, arbitration panels, and regulators. Whether we are advising on a multibillion-dollar acquisition, designing a competitive energy market, assessing damages in mass tort litigation, or informing international tax policy, our work is always grounded in defensible, data-driven conclusions that our clients—and the decision-makers they face—can trust.

Momentous challenges require certainty. That is the conviction at the heart of everything we do. Competition, regulation, public policy, strategy, finance, and litigation are high-stakes matters with billions of dollars on the line and far-reaching consequences for markets and societies. NERA exists to provide the proof-positive that businesses, policymakers, regulators, and judges need to make their most important decisions—decisions they can trust and by which others will abide. We have spent 65 years translating the complexity of economics into clarity, and we measure our success by the confidence our clients carry into their most critical moments.

Our culture is defined by a small number of values that we hold without compromise. Integrity means our analysis is always objective and our conclusions always defensible—we never shape findings to fit a preferred outcome. Excellence means we hold our work to the highest standard at every stage, from data validation to courtroom testimony, because our clients' most consequential decisions depend on it. Collegiality means we operate as genuine teams, where senior leaders are accessible, junior staff are trusted with real responsibility, and every perspective is taken seriously. Rigor means we back every finding with numbers and data, applying the most advanced statistical and econometric techniques available. And ingenuity—the economic creativity that has defined NERA since 1961—means we approach every new challenge with the intellectual curiosity to find the truth even where there is no black and white.

Clients come to NERA because the stakes are too high to accept anything less than the most rigorous, most defensible analysis available. Our global roster of in-house experts and academic affiliates offers an unparalleled mix of economic aptitude and real-world experience across virtually every industry and regulatory environment. We work as integrated, cross-border teams, which means clients benefit from the right perspective—not just the nearest available expert. Our people are as recognized for their mastery of advanced economic and statistical methods as they are for their ability to communicate complex concepts in clear, persuasive terms that resonate in the courtroom, the boardroom, and the regulatory hearing room. Backed by the resources of our Fortune 250 parent Marsh—including a dedicated, high-capacity technology infrastructure and secure global network—we deliver results at the speed and scale our clients' most urgent matters demand. When you work with NERA, you are working with the firm that pioneered this industry, and that has spent 65 years earning the trust to prove it.

NERA is managed by practicing economic professionals who are responsible not only for the firm's day-to-day success but for guiding its strategy and ensuring sustainability well into the future. As a subsidiary of Marsh, we benefit from the long-term commitments of one of the world's leading professional services firms, including its global technology infrastructure and responsible business practices. Our own sustainability as a firm is grounded in our model of growing experts internally, investing continuously in the professional development of our people, and maintaining the independence and integrity that have made our work credible for more than six decades. We build for the long term—in our expertise, our client relationships, and the institutions and markets our work helps shape.

NERA's commitment to community is inseparable from who we are as a firm. Through the NERA Pro Bono Program, we lend our analytical expertise and economic skills to projects that promote justice, equality, and the empowerment of underserved and disadvantaged groups—because the same rigorous thinking we apply to billion-dollar disputes can and should serve those who need it most. Our firmwide mentoring initiative is designed to teach, empower, and inspire young people—especially the at-risk and under-resourced—in areas of economic, mathematical, business, and financial literacy. We also pursue regular corporate citizenship opportunities that connect our people to the communities where they live and work, reflecting our belief that collegiality extends beyond the office walls.

At NERA, inclusion is not a policy—it is a practice embedded in how we hire, how we advance, and how we work together every day. We proactively pursue diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our Diversity in Hiring Initiative, which ensures we are reaching and considering talent from the broadest possible range of backgrounds. Our advancement standards are transparent and merit-based by design: clear benchmarks put everyone on equal footing when it comes to promotion, with no artificial barriers and no surprises about what it takes to reach the next level. Our people come from academia, government, law, accounting, and industry across dozens of countries, and we recognize that the quality of our economic analysis is inseparable from the diversity of the perspectives that shape it. At NERA, you have the same opportunity as everyone else to advance based on your abilities and your accomplishments.
