Our Economics & Financial Expertise

Antitrust in Financial Markets

IMS advisors examine whether explicit or implicit anticompetitive agreements exist, which can reflect monopolization, and the impact on financial market participants. Through econometric modeling, we calculate damages arising from such behavior.
Securities Litigation

We measure the price impact of specific events, model price inflation, and assess market efficiency. These expert analyses support class certification and mediation in 10b-5 claims, offering reliable insights for complex securities disputes.
ERISA & Investment Management

Our financial experts evaluate investment performance through risk-adjusted returns, fee analysis, and benchmarking against relevant indices and peer groups.
Market Manipulation, Spoofing & High-Frequency Trading

We implement and assess quantitative frameworks for modeling strategic order placement and detecting behaviors consistent with market manipulation.
Real Estate Finance & Economics

IMS’s real estate and mortgage finance experts address issues in residential and commercial real estate markets, primary and secondary mortgage markets, brokerage markets, and mass property valuation matters.
Financial & White-Collar Investigations

Our economics and finance advisors support investigations and legal proceedings by providing statistical and financial analysis for matters involving market manipulation, fraud, and other white-collar crimes.
Econometrics

Our economists help establish liability and quantify damages using robust economic models, such as regression analysis and related predictive modeling techniques, that capture the relationships central to complex litigation.
