What Econic Partners does

Econic Partners is a private economic consulting firm headquartered in Los Angeles that was launched on February 19, 2025, with approximately $35.75 million of disclosed funding led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The firm delivers complex economic, financial, and econometric analysis — including statistical analysis, econometric modeling, merger simulations, and data science techniques — to corporations, government agencies, non-profit associations, and law firms engaged in high-stakes antitrust, regulatory, and litigation matters. Its competitive position rests on a 100-plus-person bench that includes former chief economists and senior officials from the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division, the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Economics, the UK Competition and Markets Authority, and the European Commission, alongside academic economists from institutions such as Stanford GSB, Northwestern, and Harvard. The firm has no software product platform; its offering is delivered as professional services through project-based engagements, with billing on a quote basis that varies by matter scope and complexity.

Econic operates from offices in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, New York, Oakland, Copenhagen, London, and Milan, allowing it to staff cross-border matters spanning multiple competition regimes. Its case roster within the first year includes expert testimony and economic advisory roles on the Pfizer/Metsera acquisition, the UnitedHealth Group/Amedisys transaction, the SES/Intelsat combination, the Omnicom/Interpublic merger, the Keurig Dr Pepper/JDE Peet's acquisition, the T-Mobile/UScellular deal, and direct retention by the FTC, among others. The firm was ranked in the "Elite" Economics category of Global Competition Review's GCR100 2026 report and won six GCR 2026 matter awards, including GCR Matter of the Year, three regional Merger Control Matter of the Year awards, and Economist of the Year for founding partner Jonathan Orszag. The firm has subsequently expanded its Finance practice with Prof. Mark Zmijewski and Nicholas Weir and its Energy practice with Matt Arenchild, signaling continued vertical build-out beyond its initial antitrust-heavy mandate mix.

Econic's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on the professional reputations of its partners, thought-leadership publications, academic journal contributions, and recognition in industry rankings to attract both direct corporate/government engagements and intermediated engagements through law firms. Its revenue model is professional services: project-based engagements priced by scope, complexity, and the seniority of the testifying expert, with no disclosed standard rates and no software/SaaS revenue line. The firm is privately held, with Goldman Sachs Alternatives and other unnamed investors providing the disclosed launch capital; no public listing, M&A, or restructuring activity has been disclosed.
