Global Competition Review recognizes Cornerstone Research in the 2024 edition of the GCR 100.
Global Competition Review (GCR) again named Cornerstone Research one of the world’s outstanding global economic consultancies. Compiled annually, the GCR 100 provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the law firms and economic consultancies doing the most important antitrust work around the world. The 2024 GCR 100 assessment formally covers experience and personnel during the period 31 May 2022 through 31 May 2023. More recent developments may also be considered.
Describing Cornerstone Research as “ideally placed to tackle the most complex and demanding competition mandates” and citing its deep bench of competition consultants and experts, GCR also highlights the multiple “important personnel” who joined the firm in 2023.
