What Berger Consulting Group does

Berger Consulting Group is a boutique economic consulting firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, operating a fully remote team of 11-50 professionals. The firm provides expert economic analysis, statistical and financial modeling, and damages quantification services to over 100 law firm clients, with deep specialization in California labor and employment litigation — particularly wage and hour class actions, wrongful termination, and discrimination matters. Service delivery spans the full litigation lifecycle: pre-litigation evaluation, class certification analysis, settlement and mediation support (including same-day mediator availability), arbitration, and trial testimony via written declarations and live expert designation.

The firm's core technology stack is built around custom damage modeling capabilities, supported by OCR-based document processing and integration of external data sources (e.g., Google Maps combined with Excel) to construct bespoke economic scenarios. Analysts apply sophisticated statistical, economic, and financial analyses tailored to each matter rather than relying on standardized product modules. The firm does not operate a SaaS platform or named software products; its offering is a unified professional service.

Commercially, Berger generates revenue through project- and engagement-based professional services billing on a case-by-case basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Customer acquisition is sales-led and reputation-driven, relying on direct attorney relationships and professional network referrals within the legal community rather than broad marketing. In 2025, Trinity Hunt Partners invested to establish Berger as the anchor of a new national economic consulting and dispute advisory platform, with Gary Buckland (formerly CEO of Lexitas) appointed CEO to drive expansion into forensic accounting, valuation, and broader economic damages services across additional U.S. geographies.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• FTI Consulting: Major global consulting firm with an economic and financial consulting segment providing expert testimony, damages analysis, and forensic accounting. Competes for large, complex litigation matters with a much broader geographic footprint.
• Alvarez & Marsal: Global professional services firm with a disputes and investigations practice offering economic damages, forensic accounting, and valuation services. Comparable in the dispute advisory and forensic accounting adjacencies Berger is pursuing.
• Berkeley Research Group (BRG): Global consulting firm with a strong economics and disputes practice providing expert analysis, forensic accounting, and valuation services. Overlaps with Berger's planned expansion into forensic accounting and valuation.
• Epiq Systems: Large incumbent providing eDiscovery, managed document review, and legal support services. Overlaps with Berger through court reporting and litigation support capabilities and competes for the same law firm spend on complex matters.

Direct peers

• Analysis Group: Economic and financial consulting firm providing expert testimony, damages quantification, and statistical analysis in litigation. Highly comparable as a top-tier economic consulting firm supporting law firms on labor, employment, and class action matters.
• Secretariat Advisors: Independent expert advisory firm providing economic, financial, and accounting consulting in litigation and disputes. Comparable as a specialist expert witness and damages firm serving law firms on high-stakes matters.
• NERA Economic Consulting: Global economic consulting firm specializing in litigation, regulatory, and antitrust matters with deep economic damages expertise. Comparable on the economic expert witness and damages modeling axis that defines Berger's offering.
• Cornerstone Research: Economic and financial consulting firm providing expert testimony and analysis in complex litigation, including employment and class action matters. Direct comparable in expert witness services and damages analysis for law firm clients.
• Lexitas: Provider of litigation support, court reporting, and legal services including expert economic and damage analysis. Direct comparable given that Berger's incoming CEO previously ran Lexitas and both firms serve plaintiff and defense law firms on complex litigation matters.

Emerging players

• Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro: Plaintiff-side class action law firm with in-house economic analysis capabilities for wage-and-hour and employment matters. Represents both a customer archetype and a partial competitive threat as law firms internalize more analytic work.
