Economic & Regulatory Consulting
We help organizations assess economic conditions, interpret policy developments and respond to regulatory change. Our work brings research and practical judgment to decisions about markets, investment, industry development and implementation.
Discuss a policy or market questionLed by Kartik Berry
The decision
Policy and regulation shape how markets develop, what organizations can do and where investment can succeed.
We define the decision, test assumptions and assess the consequences for the people expected to act.
Understand the conditions for a commercial or public decision.
Investigate demand, industry structures, incentives and the conditions that shape commercial or public outcomes. Develop proportionate analysis around the question, with transparent assumptions and sensitivity to alternative scenarios.
Assess the practical implications of trade arrangements, market conditions and customer requirements. Connect the policy opportunity to product selection, eligibility, economics and the work needed to build repeat business.
Separate established requirements, proposals and uncertainty.
Map the relevant policy framework, institutions and decision processes. Assess how proposed or existing measures affect the client's activities, with a clear distinction between established requirements, proposals and areas of uncertainty.
Develop research reports, position papers and consultation materials. Build the argument from evidence, identify trade-offs and explain the implications for the relevant stakeholders.
Turn analysis into a position and a practical course of action.
Understand the institutions and interests that shape an issue. Develop an engagement plan and materials that support informed discussion, working with Strategic Communications where the evidence needs to reach a wider audience.
Translate a policy or sector strategy into an operating framework. Clarify responsibilities, governance, coordination and the practical conditions required for implementation.
The output may be a focused advisory note, a research programme, a policy-engagement package or continuing support as an issue develops.
Agree the question and the standard of evidence it requires.
Bring together relevant sources, data and stakeholder inputs.
Examine implications, alternatives and assumptions.
Define the course of action, with open questions visible.
Where a question is legal as well as economic, the Legal practice contributes from the outset.
