Our experts have extensive experience in intellectual property litigation and valuation, as well as strategy and public policy debates.

In the course of these disputes, Global Economics Group professionals have provided expert testimony in U.S. District Courts as well as the Federal Trade Commission.
The Global Economics team has also been retained to value intellectual property assets, including within the context of transfer pricing disputes, as well as consult on the strategic use and management of intellectual property assets.
