Who We Are

As the Economic and Financial Consulting (EFC) practice, we support our clients as independent experts in managing complex disputes and advise on transformation processes and strategic decisions.

Through our compelling analyses of economic contexts, we have become the global market leader in this field.

We provide independent valuations of companies, equity stakes, and intangible assets in all situations requiring a well-founded assessment. We assist our clients, courts, and arbitration tribunals in resolving disputes within the context of litigation and arbitration or mediation proceedings. Another focus of our work is the valuation of companies and intangible assets during upcoming change processes or as part of risk management. Our interdisciplinary team includes economists, auditors, valuation experts, MBAs, statisticians, and econometricians. We work on diverse and challenging projects across a wide range of industries—from “old economy” to innovative business models like NewSpace or AI companies. We collaborate with international law firms, global corporations, DAX-listed and mid-sized companies, private equity funds, and family offices, and we also serve authorities or public prosecutors.

Our Economic and Financial Consulting team is based in Frankfurt.

We are seeking an Intern (m/f/d) for six months full-time in our Frankfurt office, starting in 2025 with flexible start dates.

What We Do

Examples of some of our recent projects include:

• Engaging in a post-M&A dispute related to a complex carve-out from a Dutch corporation, where we were tasked with demonstrating the value of a sold portfolio of intangible assets.
• Acting as experts to determine the market value during an internal sale of a large patent portfolio from Germany to China.
• Advising the board of a company on how to position itself in negotiations with a departing partner from a joint venture and assessing the values attributed to equity stakes and contractual agreements.
• Being commissioned to quantify the expected damages in an impending case of trademark infringement for a well-known consumer goods brand.
• Producing a fairness opinion for the acquisition of a promising biotech company by a private equity fund.
