Company Description:
Resolution Economics is a leading economic consulting firm focused on providing economic, statistical, and financial analysis; litigation and consulting support; and expert testimony to the world’s leading companies and law firms. Resolution Economics is headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York City, and Charlotte.
Working at Resolution Economics is a rewarding experience where teamwork, creativity, and academic rigor combine to generate real-world results. We regularly apply advanced data analytical, statistical, and economic methods to create compelling narratives that are digestible to non-technical audiences. Our work often plays an important role in influencing State and Federal case law, and directly impacts the outcomes of future litigation and the creation of workplace policies. In addition, the analyses that we perform often inform settlement discussions, as parties attempt to resolve issues out of Court. Given the high-stakes and the large number of potential class members, our clients depend on our adaptability, efficiency, and ability to maintain an extremely high degree of reliability in our work.
The Labor and Employment Practice typically engages in matters relating to Wage and Hour or Discrimination litigation as well as other employment-related business consulting. We frequently provide analysis and support related to minimum wage/overtime claims, meal and rest break claims, employee misclassification claims, and discrimination matters related to hiring, pay, promotion, and/or wrongful termination at all stages of the litigation process. Clients typically rely on us to provide complex exposure models, expert reports, preparation for depositions, rebuttals to the work of other experts, and expert testimony at deposition or trial. Clients also often seek out our services for data collection efforts in the form of surveys, video content analysis, and on-site observational studies.
