NERA Economic Consulting, a leading global provider of economic advice and analysis in business, legal, and regulatory matters, announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with the Mexican firm Agon Economía y Derecho. Agon is led by Eduardo Pérez Motta, former Chairman of the Mexican Competition Commission, and brings together a group of senior experts in competition, regulation, and international trade unparalleled in Mexico and throughout Latin America.

NERA and Agon will work together to provide economic consulting services in Mexico and throughout Latin America, particularly in the areas of antitrust and competition, economic regulation, and international trade.

"As Latin America's economies have grown, their business and regulatory challenges have as well," said NERA President Lawrence Wu. "The kind of sophisticated economic analysis that NERA provides is more important than ever in Latin America. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Agon's outstanding team to offer economic consulting services to clients in the region."

"NERA's reputation and the exceptional quality of its work make it a great match for Agon's deep expertise and strong networks in competition, regulation, and trade, specifically tailored to markets and institutional conditions in Latin America," said Mr. Pérez Motta. "We look forward to working together to apply economic expertise in helping clients meet their critical regulatory, litigation, and other challenges."
