Overview
As an Experienced Analyst, you will play a central role at Cornerstone Research. You will work in case teams that range in size but typically include an academic or industry expert, senior consultants, and Analysts. Within a case team, you will make important contributions during all phases of a project-from developing case strategy to conducting complex analyses to preparing experts for testimony.
Casework has both quantitative and qualitative elements, involving such key responsibilities as
• Developing financial and economic models;
• Analyzing large datasets;
• Examining market and industry behavior;
• Conducting research via academic articles and relevant industry literature;
• Assisting with expert written reports;
• Presenting findings to colleagues, clients, and clients' counsel.
Our small size provides opportunities for Experienced Analysts to interact closely not only with senior consultants and academic/industry experts, but also with clients and their counsel.
EXPERIENCED ANALYST DEVELOPMENT
From day one, there is a strong emphasis on equipping you with the information, training, and resources to help you succeed. Your time at the firm will begin with a comprehensive orientation and training program to introduce you to the firm and help you get integrated. Additionally, we host continuous learning and development programs through which you will learn sophisticated analytical and statistical techniques used in your day-to-day casework, as well as soft skills that will help you successfully work with case teams, clients and their counsel, and experts.
Shortly after arriving at the firm, you will meet your Staffing & Development Manager and join your first case teams. Concurrently, the firm offers many opportunities for Analysts to participate in, and often take a leadership role over, firm initiatives outside of casework. From social committees to affinity groups to volunteer programs to recruiting, there is something for everyone. Your experience as an Experienced Analyst will be well-rounded.
