Kroll Acquires ABC economics to Enhance Global Economic Advisory
Kroll has acquired ABC economics, a Berlin-based firm, to bolster its economic and econometric advisory capabilities.
Kroll, a global provider of financial and risk advisory solutions, announced its acquisition of ABC economics, an economics and competition advisory firm headquartered in Berlin. The deal is intended to strengthen Kroll's economic and econometric expertise, particularly in advising clients on complex transactions, litigation, and investigations.
ABC economics has built a reputation for advising on competition matters, including damage quantification, mergers and acquisitions, abuse of dominance cases, and various international disputes and arbitrations. The firm operates across multiple jurisdictions and languages.
Founded by economist Frank Maier-Rigaud, ABC economics is noted for its rigorous, academically grounded approach. The acquisition reflects a market trend where clients increasingly seek economic analysis to navigate complex regulatory scrutiny and disputes, as courts and authorities place greater emphasis on economic evidence.
Kroll stated that the integration of ABC economics will significantly enhance its ability to assist clients in high-stakes matters where economic analysis is decisive.
