The Brattle Group

Per the firm's recruiting FAQ, hiring decisions typically follow within one to two weeks of the interview day; Corporate Services roles run a third round on top of this. Compressing the substantive assessment into one half-day round rather than a multi-week superday means the process asks for a single scheduled block rather than sustained availability over several weeks – a smaller claim on a season where other firms' loops are running at the same time.

Brattle runs two internship tracks and two full-time entry points, per its careers pages:

• Research Analyst Intern: rising seniors pursuing a bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (economics, math, finance, engineering)
• Summer Associate: candidates one to two years from completing a PhD, or first-year MBA students in economics, finance, accounting, or engineering
• Research Analyst (full-time): recent graduates with a quantitative background
• Associate (full-time): candidates holding a PhD or MBA

Summer 2026 postings list offices in Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Toronto. The two tracks gate on degree stage rather than experience level: a bachelor's-degree candidate is eligible only for the Research Analyst line, and the PhD/MBA Associate line is closed to them regardless of quantitative background.

Brattle's recruiting FAQ states that it "will sponsor visas for foreign nationals who meet the requirements of the position and visa process," and its H-1B filings bear this out: the firm filed 56 Labor Condition Applications in fiscal year 2025, all 56 approved and none denied, per public Department of Labor disclosure data. The firm's own wording ties sponsorship to "the requirements of the position" rather than guaranteeing it outright – a sign that sponsorship is decided role by role, so an international candidate should not assume every open posting carries it.

Global Competition Review named it in the "Economics – Outstanding" category of its GCR 100 2026 rankings, citing a competition-economics team of more than 60 specialists including former US and UK enforcement officials. Chambers and Partners' 2026 Litigation Support Guide ranks the firm's economic-analysis practice, and Vault's 2026 rankings place it among the top 10 energy consulting firms in North America. For a candidate weighing which practice group to target inside the firm, these three point to competition economics, litigation support, and energy as the areas where independent evaluators rate Brattle's work most highly.
