Regulated Industries

Regulatory issues requiring economic analysis arise daily in the context of legislative and rule-making activities, the enforcement of regulations, antitrust cases and rate proceedings. The antitrust economist works closely with client staff and counsel to develop economic analyses and supporting studies that support the client's interests and are consistent with current regulatory policy and legal doctrine. The results of these analyses and studies are often presented as expert testimony in proceedings before state and federal regulatory agencies. LMS can provide a full range of consulting services, including:

  • Review of initial filings and definition of relevant economic and policy issues
  • Preparation of expert testimony and supporting studies
  • Assistance to counsel in preparing information requests and questions for cross-examination and in analyzing the impact of final decisions and orders.
