Economic analyses

Plesner's Economic Analysis team includes specialized economists, who have been working within the intersection of economics and law for many years. Their close collaboration with attorneys ensures clients receive thorough and in-depth advice that analyses all aspects of a case.

Integrating law and economics is crucial for developing effective strategies in large, complex cases where outcomes often hinge on this interdisciplinary approach. The close interaction between Plesner's economists and attorneys creates significant value for clients, particularly in strategic considerations for complex cases. Our experience demonstrates that this combination is materially important and may be crucial to the final outcome of a case.

Plesner's Economic Analysis team undertakes a variety of critical tasks.

For instance, the team is specialized within establishing the central elements of counterfactual scenarios to quantify damages in legal claims. In cartel cases, these analyses encompass estimating the overcharge caused by the cartel and assessing the extent of pass-on of any overcharge to consumers.

Managing court-appointed economic expert reports and testimonies ensures that legal proceedings are supported by rigorous economic evidence, which is crucial for adjudicating complex cases.

In relation to competition law, the team for example provide economic analyses of mergers, including analyses of potential coordinated andnon-coordinated effects, and analyse the pricing and rebate structures of dominant undertakings to identify and address anti-competitive practices.

In cases involving the infringement of financial legislation, the team for example establish the likely counterfactual development in the share price.

The team also provides financial advice regarding valuations in various types of cases and prepare valuations of options and warrants, for instance in connection with employee stock option plans.
