Dr. Taylor is an Associate Director in NERA’s Antitrust and Competition; Energy; and Communications, Media, and Internet Practices. He provides expert analysis and advice to clients across New Zealand and Australia in matters involving antitrust, regulatory, and financial economics. Dr. Taylor regularly assists clients dealing with complex regulatory issues, merger and abuse of market power investigations and quantum disputes in litigation and arbitration.
In the field of competition economics, Dr. Taylor advises clients on mergers and acquisitions, contracting issues, and allegations of anticompetitive practices. His most recent case experience has involved analysis of the antitrust implications of technological disruption in the pay TV, insurance, broadband, and news/media markets. His broader experience spans industries including health care, manufacturing, forestry, retail, agriculture, transport, electricity generation and distribution, and waste.
In the regulatory sphere, Dr. Taylor has extensive experience in the design and operation of regulatory regimes and access pricing for communications services (fixed and mobile), energy networks (gas and electricity), airports, ports, and dairy. On energy matters more broadly, he has advised clients on market design, transmission pricing reform, and transmission governance in the gas sector.
Dr. Taylor seamlessly brings together his extensive experience on both regulatory and competition issues, enabling him to provide highly valuable analysis and expertise to businesses on market studies and inquiries by governments and regulators. These studies typically assess competition and, if it is lacking, consider regulatory interventions.
Dr. Taylor’s expertise in financial economics is brought to bear in quantum disputes regarding infrastructure access, fair trading and misrepresentation claims, and commercial damages arbitrations and litigation.
