FK Economics

What FK Economics does

FK Economics is a private economic consulting firm headquartered in Santiago, Chile (Las Condes), with a regional office in Mexico City. Founded in 2012/2013, the firm is positioned as the first Ibero-American economic consulting practice specialized in litigation and arbitration. It serves law firms, corporations, government agencies, and NGOs across Ibero-America, providing expert economic analysis for legal disputes, regulatory proceedings, antitrust cases, and financial decision-making. The firm reports engagement in more than 300 processes in litigation and arbitration over its 10+ year operating history and has received recognition from Who's Who Legal and Leaders League.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around four practice areas: Antitrust and Competition (analysis of abuse of dominant position, collusion, predatory pricing, and merger control); Litigation and Arbitration (damage assessment including loss of profits, additional expenses, moral damages, and expert testimony); Public Policy & Regulation (policy design, impact evaluation, and sectoral studies); and Financial Advisory (M&A, valuations, competitive strategy, project evaluation). Its core methodology relies on rigorous empirical and analytical methods rather than proprietary software. The team of over 25 professionals includes economists with PhDs from institutions such as the University of Chicago, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and Cornell, structured as a partner-led firm (Jorge Fantuzzi, M. Valentina Konow, Juan Pablo Philippi) with regional leadership in Mexico (Raúl Mejía as Country Manager).

FK Economics operates a professional services revenue model, billing consulting fees on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement basis with no public pricing. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement with law firms and corporate clients alongside event-driven demand generation through Academia FK, a three-day intensive training program for Ibero-American lawyers. The firm invests heavily in content marketing — including the Función de Demandas podcast (co-produced with EstadoDiario and CIAR Global), the Contrafactual online magazine, InfoSlides educational series, and a monthly newsletter — to build thought leadership in the Ibero-American arbitration and competition law community.
