Economics

One thing we have learned: it is not (always) essential for the success of a project to produce a multi-page expert report, but it is more important to reach an economically based, pragmatic solution.

Taking account of economically relevant aspects also means knowing and being able to assess the economic consequences of legal agreements. What use is an interconnection agreement without knowledge of its effects on the business plan? Are the new rates offered by your competitor designed with the intention of hampering competition – what economic concept can be used to prove this? Economic considerations and arguments are becoming more and more important, precisely for the purposes of putting forward such arguments in negotiations or in dispute proceedings. This is where we can help you, when you need an integrated technical/economic viewpoint with the corresponding links to legal evaluations for the issue on hand.

Especially economic problems with the focus on damage claim can be solved very effectively with the combination of attorneys and consultants.
