CEG has been involved in some of the largest and most complex commercial damages and investor-state dispute cases. CEG has successfully applied its economic and financial toolkit in numerous cases – to assess both the question of liability as well as estimating the quantum of damages incurred. We have worked on cases across many industries, in particular consumer, financial services, telecoms and energy sectors.
CEG economists participate in all stages of commercial and investor-state cases from assessing the prospect for damages to expert reports and attendance as experts at tribunals hearings.

What our experts say
CEG’s team with me as expert used our competition economics toolkit in the PGNiG vs Gazprom case to change the price level and formula for gas. Working for the buyers, PGNiG, our analysis was instrumental to the eventual settlement success.
“Economic experts play a crucial role in providing evidence relating to commercial damages cases such as electricity price, M&A and shareholder disputes. Our role is to assist courts and tribunals in answering a legal exam question. This requires that our analyses are tailored to the relevant legal framework and to the wider context of commercial reality.”
