Supported by the latest technology and a robust computing infrastructure, NERA experts apply their experience and skills in data analysis, econometrics, and statistical modeling to help clients understand and use the information captured in massive datasets in complex litigation, regulatory proceedings, and investigations.

Our global team of experts, working in offices across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, have a wealth of experience building, cleaning, and validating data from a variety of sources—from Big Data and cloud systems to data warehouses, relational databases, and mainframe databases.
