Who We Are

Cornerstone Research is a leading economics and finance consulting firm with more than 450 staff members across seven offices. Together with an extensive network of nationally prominent faculty who testify as expert witnesses, as well as with internal testifying experts, our staff specializes in analyzing complex economic, financial, accounting, and marketing issues that arise in litigation.

Cornerstone Research is involved in a broad variety of projects, including high-profile legal cases and disputes. Recent work in economic analysis includes patent, copyright, and trademark infringement disputes and a broad range of antitrust issues, including resale price maintenance, price fixing, monopolization, predation, and tying. Some of our recent cases in finance have involved subprime lending, hedge funds, IPO allocation, valuation of private equity, pricing complex derivatives, insider trading allegations, securities fraud claims, corporate governance issues, and large corporate mergers and acquisitions. More detail can be found on our website at www.cornerstone.com.

Associates at Cornerstone Research

Cornerstone Research provides an interesting and rewarding work environment. Our staff works directly with esteemed faculty experts in a distinctive "partnership" that combines the strengths of the academic and business worlds.

Associates are central to casework at Cornerstone Research and are involved in all phases of a project. In the initial stages of a case, associates actively participate in the formulation of the work plan and the analysis of issues. As the case progresses, associates handle the complex aspects of a case directly, while managing and advising junior staff. They work with senior staff, experts, and clients to develop case strategy and to determine how best to communicate our findings. In addition associates actively participate in shaping and implementing the firm's recruiting, training, and practice development strategies. Overall, Cornerstone Research offers an excellent package of interesting work; exposure to a broad set of issues in finance, economics, and accounting; and a high degree of personal responsibility.

Candidate Profile

We seek candidates who have pursued doctoral studies in economics, finance, accounting, or marketing. Candidates must have the ability to apply academic research to real-world issues and present concise explanations of complex analyses. The ideal candidate will possess a strong empirical background and excellent interpersonal skills. We offer an industry-competitive compensation and benefits package.
