Job Description – SENIOR Analyst (SAN DIEGO, CA and DURHAM, NC)  

Insight Economics offers excellent career opportunities to talented individuals looking to join a highly capable consulting team.

We encourage close and collegial collaboration with our experts and senior staff to enhance shared learning and development.  

A significant percentage of our work involves litigation consulting, which entails providing support to attorneys and their clients involved in legal disputes, primarily through expert opinions offered in detailed written reports and testimony at trial.

We rigorously apply our economic expertise in areas such as case analysis, strategy development, and presentation of economic theory and complex data analysis. Our matters typically involve high-stakes disputes relating to economic harm, competitive conditions, efficiency and public interest, and valuation, among other issues. Our consultants provide critical support to Insight experts by reviewing relevant case evidence (business documents and witness testimony), analyzing complex data sets, performing statistical and quantitative analysis, and developing written reports and supporting exhibits. Consultants also assist with preparation for questioning under oath at depositions and trials, among other litigation-related projects.
