Compass Lexecon and FTI Consulting Professionals Honored as Leading Women in Antitrust
December 07 2016 - 7:30AM
FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) today announced that three
professionals from FTI Consulting and its subsidiary Compass
Lexecon have been named to Global Competition Review’s Women in
Antitrust 2016: Economists list.
The firm had three of the 10 economists on the 2016
list, the most of any firm recognized. The professionals include
Compass Lexecon’s Mary Coleman, an Executive Vice President based
in Boston, and Kirsten Edwards-Warren, an Executive Vice President
based in London, as well as FTI Consulting’s Margaret
Guerin-Calvert, a Senior Managing Director and President of the
Center for Healthcare Economics and Policy based in Washington,
D.C., and a Senior Consultant for Compass Lexecon.
Dr. Coleman specializes in the competitive analysis
of mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures, and antitrust
litigation, including class action certification issues. Dr.
Coleman was the Deputy Director for Antitrust in the Bureau of
Economics of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), where she led
the antitrust group in the Bureau of Economics and was involved in
all antitrust investigations at the FTC, as well as several
non-enforcement projects. During her tenure at the FTC, Dr. Coleman
was instrumental in the efforts of the Bureau of Economics to
increase the empirical content of antitrust investigations at the
FTC and to foster cooperation between the economic and legal
staffs. Dr. Coleman also served as a staff economist at the FTC.
Dr. Coleman was named as one of Who’s Who Legal’s Competition
Economists in 2016.
Ms. Edwards-Warren has extensive experience in
mergers, having worked on more than 50 cases investigated by the UK
and European authorities. In addition, she has advised on market
studies, consumer cases and competition enforcement cases
investigating tying and bundling, excessive pricing, predation,
exclusive dealing, retroactive rebates, refusals to supply,
vertical restraints and cartels. Ms. Edwards-Warren served as the
Director of Economics at both the UK’s Office of Fair Trading and
at the Competition Commission. She was named one of Who’s Who
Legal’s Competition Economists in 2016, and also featured in the
Global Competition Review’s Women in Antitrust Survey in 2013.
Ms. Guerin-Calvert also previously served as
Compass Lexecon’s President and Vice Chairman. She is widely
recognized for her economic and healthcare expertise on merger and
non-merger matters involving federal and international antitrust
agencies and in litigation, including class certification and
damages, with testifying experience in many countries. Ms.
Guerin-Calvert was Assistant Chief of the Economic Regulatory
Section at the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division,
where she supervised economists on a wide range of healthcare and
regulated industry matters, and was a Federal Reserve Board
Economist. She was named as one of Who’s Who Legal’s Competition
Economists in 2016, and profiled in Global Competition Review’s
2004 and 2009 Women in Antitrust.
“GCR’s selection of these three economists from
Compass Lexecon is particularly satisfying given our ongoing
efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified women, who are
underrepresented in the field of economics. We commend their strong
leadership and expert roles in economics. We believe that our work
— and work environment — benefit from diverse viewpoints,” said
Jonathan Orszag, a Senior Managing Director with Compass Lexecon.
“Mary, Kirsten and Meg, as well as many women on our team, not only
contribute to our rigorous standards, but also are important
mentors and models for other economists — both women and men — at
Compass Lexecon.”
