Economist

About Our Team

Secretariat’s PhD economists and experts have been leading economic analysis and supporting court testimony in high‑stakes arenas for over 40 years.

Our work includes antitrust, intellectual property, and other intersections of economics, law, and policy. Law firms, government agencies, and corporations trust us to answer complex questions, provide rigorous analysis, and give insightful testimony.

We are looking for talented new PhDs to join our team! We seek people who thrive on diving into new problems, exhibit strong analytical skills, balance the big picture with deep dives into data and details, are inquisitive and creative, and enjoy collaboration with like‑minded individuals from varied backgrounds. We are open to candidates from all economics fields.

Secretariat offers competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and extensive opportunities for professional development in a merit‑based environment. Our flexible work model includes options to work in one of our several offices across the U.S. and the option to work entirely remotely (within the U.S.).

Antitrust investigations and litigation—whether involving proposed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) or allegations of anticompetitive conduct—require clear, expert economic analysis.

With experience in more than 1,400 antitrust matters across nearly every industry and a collective deal value exceeding $500 billion, our experts are trusted for their clarity and credibility. We excel at presenting understandable, persuasive analyses to judges, juries, and arbitrators. We provide clear testimony in cases involving price fixing, bid rigging, monopolization, and more.
