Digital Platforms Litigation

At Fideres, we provide expert economic analysis for complex litigation involving digital platforms and emerging technologies. Our economists advise law firms on landmark cases against monopolistic practices in digital marketplaces, app stores, social media networks, and other technology ecosystems.

  • We quantify consumer harm from anticompetitive practices, including algorithm manipulation, self-preferencing, excessive commissions, and exclusionary conduct.
  • We prepare detailed expert reports and testimony that translate complex digital economics into compelling arguments for judges, juries, and regulators.
