6 October 2008
New York/Beijing/6 October 2008 -- NERA Economic Consulting, a leading global provider of economic advice and analysis in business, legal, and regulatory matters, announced today that it has expanded its operations in China by opening a new office in Beijing. NERA has had an office in Shanghai since 2006.
"The Asia-Pacific region in general, and China in particular, is one of the most important markets in the world," said NERA President Dr. Andrew Carron. "Our new office in Beijing will give NERA a larger footprint in a key growth area for the firm, and gives us an opportunity to broaden our reach and service offerings in China and throughout Asia."
In addition to representing a geographical expansion in China, NERA's Beijing office-based experts also offer the firm's full suite of capabilities and services.
"China is obviously a central player in the global economy," said NERA Vice President Yasunobu Suzuki, who will lead the firm's business in Beijing. "The areas where NERA is recognized for its expertise -- including transfer pricing, antitrust, intellectual property, finance, telecommunications, energy, and the environment -- are critically important to Chinese businesses and government organizations in today's economic environment."
The Beijing office adds to NERA's presence in the Asia-Pacific region, where the firm now has seven offices located in China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Globally, NERA's experts work from a network of more than 20 offices around the world to offer clients a wide array of economic consulting services.
