Analyst, London

Overview

For UK Applicants: Please submit your application through our online portal by our deadline: 15 November 2026 for consideration.

 

The Analyst Role

As an Analyst at Cornerstone Research, you will undertake a crucial role. You will join the firm as a generalist, providing you with the opportunity to work on projects spanning various sectors including finance, antitrust, intellectual property, consumer fraud and product liability, accounting, and more. Our project teams vary in size and typically include an academic or industry expert witness, senior consultants, and other Analysts. Within a project team, you will make significant contributions during all phases of a project—from developing case strategy to conducting complex analyses to preparing expert witnesses for testimony. Every case presents a new analytical challenge.

 

What does case work at Cornerstone Research look like?

Collaboration is central to our work. Our Analysts do not travel to work on-site with clients; nearly all work is carried out from our local offices or remotely. This means that you will be working alongside your colleagues regularly, even if you are not working on the same cases. When it comes to casework, you can expect the following:

• You will work on several cases simultaneously. This is to provide you with ample opportunity to develop your skillset and determine the type of work you enjoy.
• Most cases have quantitative and qualitative elements, though some will be more quantitative and others more qualitative.
• Each Cornerstone Research office has a Staffing & Development Manager, a dedicated professional who oversees your case assignments with an eye towards your professional development goals.
• You will have opportunities to interact with senior consultants, academic and industry experts, attorneys, and clients.
• Key responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Developing financial and economic models;
• Analysing large datasets;
• Examining market and industry behaviour;
• Conducting research via academic articles and relevant industry literature;
• Assisting with expert written reports;
• Presenting findings to colleagues, experts, and clients.

 

Analyst Development

From day one, there is a strong emphasis on equipping you with the information, training, and resources to help you succeed. Your time at the firm will begin with a comprehensive induction and training programme to introduce you to the firm and help you get integrated. Additionally, we run continuous learning and development programmes through which you will learn sophisticated analytical and statistical techniques used in your day-to-day casework, as well as soft skills that will help you successfully work with case teams, clients and their counsel, and experts.

 

The firm offers many opportunities for Analysts to participate in, and often take a leadership role over, firm initiatives outside of casework. From social committees and affinity groups to volunteer programmes and recruiting, there’s something for everyone. Your experience as an Analyst will be well-rounded.

 

Long-Term Growth

We value the long-term professional growth of our Analysts. The analytical depth of our assignments and breadth of industry exposure serves as outstanding preparation for the next stages in an individual’s career, including postgraduate study. In addition to the experience casework provides, we offer multiple resources for those applying to top postgraduate programmes in business, economics, and law. Many Analysts also choose to stay at Cornerstone Research and continue their careers with the firm – a number of our senior consultants, including Partners, started their careers as Analysts. In addition, top-performing Analysts are eligible for postgraduate financial support and an offer to return to the firm after the completion of their postgraduate programme.
