The Brattle Group Named “Outstanding Firm for Competition Economics” by Global Competition Review in GCR 100 2025 Rankings
The Brattle Group has once again been recognized by Global Competition Review (GCR) as one of the world’s top firms for competition economics, named in the “Economics – Outstanding” category of the “GCR 100 2025” rankings.
GCR highlighted the fresh leadership in Europe and the US, as well as Nobel laureate Daniel McFadden, who serves as Principal Emeritus in San Francisco. The firm has close to 100 competition specialists located across three continents, and three outstanding economists lead the practice:
- US: Minjae Song | Principal | Washington, DC
- Europe: Pinar Bagci | Principal | London and Peter Davis | Principal | London
In GCR’s 2023–2024 research period, Brattle worked on 17 transactions across multiple jurisdictions, including several transactional matters before the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the US Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission, and Canada’s Competition Bureau.
Among other notable matters, Brattle provided expert testimony for the DOJ in the US v. Google advertising technology (ad tech) case, in which the DOJ and several state attorneys general alleged Google held an illegal monopoly in digital advertising technology. Additionally, the firm is instructed in various cases in front of UK courts including matters related to allegations of competition infringements involving foreign exchange, marine-car carriers, power-cables, trains, trucks, google shopping, google ad-tech, and mobile phones.
GCR’s independent research ranks economic consultancies based on several criteria, including the number of dedicated competition and antitrust economists at each firm, the number of affiliated economists in Lexology: Competition, and each firm’s work on competition matters over the past year.
