AMC Economics is an economic consulting firm that specialises in supporting clients and their competition lawyers in antitrust and merger control investigations. It was launched in 2011, with primary focus on antitrust and merger control cases before the European Commission (DG Competition) and the UK competition authorities (OFT and Competition Commission). Established by founding partner Paul Hofer, its approach is based on quick identification and targeted factual testing of what ultimately matters in a given case, informed by economic principles and focused quantitative analysis.
