Financial Institutions

The Brattle Group is often called upon to provide expert testimony, analyses, and financial economic consulting in litigation and regulatory matters concerning capital requirements, due diligence, structured finance, risk management, asset valuation, mortgage proposals, pricing of services, profitability, cost of capital, and leasing. We have been retained in a range of engagements involving securities fraud, broker/client investment suitability, bankruptcy and ability to pay, competition, and contract analysis.

Our clients include commercial and investment banks, savings and loans, insurance companies, broker-dealers, mutual funds, hedge funds, special board committees, and finance companies. Our economic experts, including renowned academics and industry specialists, possess strong knowledge of finance and economic theory, accounting, and market dynamics, and they have worked on some of the most contentious and visible cases in the industry over the last twenty years.
