The Brattle Group first opened its doors in 1990 in Cambridge, MA with a staff of five. The founders were dedicated to establishing a firm recognized for integrity and excellence in economic and financial consulting across a range of practices and industries. In 1995 the firm combined with Incentives Research, Incorporated to strengthen its expertise in energy matters.
We opened a second office in 1996 in Washington, DC to focus on our expertise in regulation, antitrust, and public policy. Brattle’s presence in Europe began in 1997 when we opened our London office in response to the demand for economic expertise to assist with the impending liberalization of gas and electricity markets. In 2002 we opened our San Francisco office, allowing us to be closer to our litigation and utility clients on the West Coast and in the Pacific Rim.
Brattle opened its Brussels office in 2005 due to a growing need for expert economic analyses throughout the European Union as Member States harmonized approaches to competition, regulation, and commercial damages. We opened our Madrid office in 2009, which has allowed us to combine our economic expertise and industry experience with insight into local and regional complexities to better assist our clients. We are recognized as a top consultancy on energy, finance, and competition throughout the European Union and the Asia-Pacific region.
Since the firm’s founding our staff has grown to more than 200. Our goal, however, remains the same: to serve our clients by presenting thoughtful and analytically rigorous work in an atmosphere that values excellence, teamwork, and dedication.
