Econic Partners is thrilled to be ranked in the top “Elite” Economics category for Global Competition Review’s GCR100 2026 report. This recognition – which occurs just months after launching the firm – reflects the depth and expertise of our world-class team, as well as our commitment to delivering rigorous, empirically grounded analysis to our global clients across high-profile matters.

In the report, GCR noted Econic’s “rapid growth” has been driven by attracting world-renowned senior figures from leading economic consulting firms, as well as “former chief economists from the US antitrust agencies, an American Economic Association John Bates Clark Medal winner and several other leading academics.” The firm’s “early success” with strong revenue and continuous “recruitment of leaders in the field,” underscores Econic’s “ability to compete with the best in the market.” In less than one year, Econic has become a “global player capable of handling complex, cross-border matters.”

Econic’s recent merger control work highlighted included Pfizer’s $10 billion acquisition of Metsera, DICK’S Sporting Goods’ $2.5 billion acquisition of Foot Locker, T-Mobile’s acquisition of UScellular, SES’s merger with Intelsat, as well as Google/Wiz, Disney/Fubo, Circana/Nielsen, Charter/Cox Communications, and Omnicom/Interpublic.

In addition, litigation highlights included the Rail Fuel Surcharge matter, the Google Search and AdTech disputes, FTC v US Anesthesia Partners, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals v Avadel.

Jonathan Orszag, Founding Partner of Econic Partners, commented, “When we started Econic earlier this year, we set out to build the best economic consulting firm in the world, one honoring the past and squarely focused on the future.  We are grateful that Global Competition Review has recognized Econic for the global team that we have assembled and the work around the globe that we have done (and are doing).  We all look forward to the future, as we continue to build on our early success.”
