    CRA's European Competition Practice specialises in providing economic advice and analysis on competition policy and regulation.

    We assist firms and their legal advisors in all types of competition proceedings before competition authorities and courts in the UK and Europe. These matters can include where firms are:

    • Considering merger and acquisition opportunities or involved in merger control proceedings;
    • Undergoing investigations relating to cartels, restrictive commercial agreements, abuse of dominance or state aid;
    • Involved in regulatory proceedings and sector inquiries.
    • Require estimation of the effects and damages in cartel cases, international arbitration and intellectual property disputes.

    We have a reputation for rigorous and innovative economic analysis, careful attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively as part of a wider team of advisors.

    From Airtours to GE/Honeywell, Tetra/Sidel, Oracle/PeopleSoft, Ryanair/Aer Lingus, TomTom/Tele Atlas, Microsoft and Intel, we have played a key role in many of the cases that have shaped European competition policy in recent years. More recently, we have been at the forefront of economic thinking in antitrust investigations and regulation in the tech sector with investigations.

    Job Overview

    We have a limited number of summer internship positions in London for applicants completing an undergraduate, Master’ or PhD degree in economics.

    Interns assist with cases, particularly with data work and industry research, as well as with general research and information management tasks. Depending on skill level, interns might be asked to prepare pieces of economic analysis and contribute to the overall arguments for various types of projects.

    These positions are ideally suited to a candidate considering post-graduate study, but who would appreciate employment experience and an insight into the world of economic consulting.

    Numeracy and the ability to manipulate data and write clearly are also important. Candidates should be able to demonstrate the personal qualities that make a successful consultant.

    How to Apply

    Applicants should apply by means of a full CV and covering letter detailing why you are interested in a role with the Competition practice. Our team will begin reviewing applications in January. The internship will start in June 2023.
