What Econ One does

Econ One Research, Inc. is a privately held economic consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Los Angeles, with additional offices in Washington D.C., Houston, Sacramento, Chennai, and New Delhi. The firm employs 101–250 professionals and serves law firms, corporate legal departments, and international arbitration clients with expert economic analysis, litigation support, and expert witness testimony across more than 25 industries. Its core practice areas include antitrust, class certification, damages, intellectual property, labor and employment, financial markets and securities, international arbitration, personal injury and wrongful death, and valuation and financial analysis.

The firm's underlying technology is its proprietary econometric and economic impact modeling capability, including Hal Singer's impact model — used to support 17 class certifications in federal and state courts — and Phillip Johnson's dynamic regression model for estimating cartel damages with lagged price persistence. Core products are organized as professional service engagements covering advanced data analytics (predictive modeling, algorithmic data analysis, customer churn and sentiment analysis), AI consulting services for AI-related disputes, and full-cycle litigation support spanning pre-litigation strategy, class certification, damages reports, and post-judgment recalculation.

Econ One generates revenue through engagement-based professional services billed primarily to law firms and corporate legal clients on a project scope, complexity, and expert-time basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm relies on direct enterprise sales supported by thought-leadership content (blogs, case studies, podcasts, webinars), professional conference participation, and referrals from the legal community. Customer engagement is episodic and tied to discrete litigation or arbitration matters rather than recurring subscription revenue, with delivery executed through six offices globally, including India-based operations that support U.S. engagements and international arbitration work.
