“Fideres provided us with innovative quantitative analysis that was critical for building this CDS anti-trust case against major dealers. In addition to... [quantifying] the amount of damages, they clearly briefed me and my team on the technical aspects of the CDS market.”
Fideres’ financial derivatives market expertise to the counsel team helped them to develop the theory of harm. Our preliminary damages model allowed counsel to distinguish its complaint from those filed by competing law firms, thereby giving them a unique edge.
The case ultimately settled for a record USD $2bn.
“ In relation to the carriage issue, the expert evidence represents a key differentiator between the two Applications." ... “We consider one methodology [Dr Pike’s] to be clearly and distinctly better – more suited – to articulating and resolving the claims that the Applicants wish to bring"”
Evidence from Fideres and its in-house expert proved decisive in winning the carriage dispute between rival class actions. The Expert report analysed Amazon’s market power within the relevant market and the anticompetitive nature of its conduct in manipulating the algorithm that allocates the Buy Box. It set out a damages analysis that quantified the harmful impact of the anticompetitive conduct on a class of more than 50 million consumers.
“Fideres have assisted with damages modelling and estimation at the client-outreach stage through to claim filing, in mediation and during the settlement process. Fideres has extensive experience in damage quantification across security types and is a very reliable partner to work with”
Burford Capital represented a group of leading institutional investors in securing a substantial recovery from Steinhoff International’s €6.5 billion accounting fraud.
Fideres provided expert analysis on share price inflation, as well individual claimant losses across numerous portfolios, helping achieve a 100% acceptance rate of claims by both the settlement administrator and Steinhoff’s expert.
“Fideres worked closely with us to develop and articulate the antitrust economics underpinning the case theory. The Fideres team used its extensive experience in the economics of digital markets to work with an academic expert to set out a comprehensive methodological blueprint for trial and a robust preliminary assessment of the harm to the proposed class”
Fideres assisted counsel by producing a class certification expert report. The report addresses Window’s market power and illustrates a proposed methodology to assess the counterfactual prices.
