The Analyst Experience

The Analyst Role

The Analyst role is the primary entry point into consulting at Cornerstone Research. As an Analyst, you’ll work on case teams that typically include an academic or industry expert, senior consultants, and fellow analysts. From day one, you’ll contribute to every stage of a case- conducting research, performing quantitative analyses, developing case strategy, and preparing experts for testimony.  As a generalist, you will gain exposure to a wide range of industries, legal matters, and analytical challenges, allowing you to build a broad foundation of consulting and problem-solving skills early in your career.

Best fit if: You are graduating from your bachelor’s or master’s program in 2027; you are earlier in your career and want a generalist role with broad exposure to different industries, case types, and phases of work.
