Litigation support for antitrust is seldom routine. It must be tailored to each particular case and to the characteristics of each industry involved. Analyses may address not only traditional questions – market definition, market conduct, and market power - but also questions about potential competition, contestability, firm behavior and the credibility of competitive response.
The issues can be complex, requiring either sophisticated theoretical models of firm and industry behavior, intricate analyses of statistical data, or both. However complicated the study, or the economic and statistical tools used to perform it, the conclusions of that analysis must form the basis for a clear, convincing argument.
