BRG is an integrated group of experts, industry leaders, academics, data scientists, and economists working across borders and disciplines to deliver inspired insights and practical strategies.

## About the Role

The work of a Summer Associate can include quantitative and qualitative tasks, depending on the needs of specific projects and the Summer Associate’s skills and interests.

The Summer Associate program is approximately 8 weeks long and begins in Summer 2027. BRG is committed to helping Summer Associates succeed through dedicated mentors, training programs, hands-on learning opportunities, and support from industry experts.

- Interact with senior staff, experts, and clients to communicate questions, findings, economic and business concepts, and recommendations clearly.
  
- Demonstrate creativity and efficient analytical skills to develop novel solutions tailored to unique projects.
  
- Provide valuable contributions to client deliverables and expert reports.

## Qualifications

  
- Progression toward a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Economics, Mathematics, Data Science, Statistics, Accounting, Business, Finance, Healthcare Administration, or a related analytical field; expected graduation date between Winter 2027 and Summer 2028.

- Attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to producing high-quality work.
  
- Experience with statistical, econometric, and programming tools such as Excel, Stata, R, Python, SQL, or similar platforms is preferred.
  
- Fluency with AI tools is desirable.
  
- Candidates must be able to submit verification of legal right to work in the United States without company sponsorship now or in the future.

## Our Practice Areas

Summer Associates support project work aligned to one of BRG’s practice areas, with flexibility to work across multiple practice areas. Candidates can select a preferred practice area as part of the application process.

### 1. Antitrust & Competition

BRG’s antitrust practice applies learning from industrial organization, econometrics, and microeconomic theory to provide testimony to counsel, corporations, and governments in matters involving antitrust litigation and merger reviews. Project teams evaluate industry conduct and assess antitrust liability, calculate damages from anticompetitive conduct, and build simulation models to understand the impacts of proposed mergers.

### 2. Business Insurance Claims (BIC)

BRG provides immediate and strategic guidance to policyholders following a catastrophe. BIC experts analyze financial data and operational records, develop robust financial models, and prepare comprehensive, well-documented insurance claims to accelerate resolution and maximize claim payments.

### 3. Construction

BRG specializes in data analytics, litigation support, claims/dispute analysis, scheduling/logistics management, and expert witness testimony within construction, engineering, and architectural fields. The team supports clients through budget and payment advisory, loss assessment and valuation, estimations and takeoffs, and insurance and damages claim valuations, including budgetary and payment oversight, project management recommendations, project scheduling generation, and constructability and viability analyses.

### 4. Commercial Disputes

BRG combines analytical and accounting skills with industry-specific knowledge to provide comprehensive support throughout the legal process—from initial case assessment and damages analysis to litigation support and expert testimony in hearings, trials, arbitration, regulatory proceedings, and mediation—to deliver data-driven insights for favorable outcomes.

### 5. Consumer Protection, Product Liability & Environment

BRG experts are engaged in matters involving consumer fraud, product liability, false advertising, data privacy and data breach, and alleged violations of environmental and natural resource law. Associates employ techniques from microeconomic theory, econometrics, marketing, and environmental and resource economics to address class certification, liability, and damages.

### 6. Energy & Climate

BRG helps clients across the global energy value chain address complex strategic, commercial, financial, market, regulatory, and dispute-related issues. Work spans power and utilities, oil and gas, renewables, storage, advanced nuclear, eMobility, hydrogen and low-carbon fuels, carbon management, infrastructure, and the broader energy transition, including market research, economic modeling, and detailed reporting.

### 7. Financial Institutions Advisory

BRG advises leading financial services companies on strategies related to risk and regulation, compliance, financial crime, technology innovation, accounting, cryptocurrency and blockchain, business process outsourcing, the Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering, lookbacks, data quality, and evolving customer experience expectations.

### 8. Healthcare Advisory

As healthcare organizations face reimbursement pressure, workforce challenges, regulatory and enforcement complexity, and rapid technological change, BRG works with executive teams and governing bodies to identify opportunities, implement practical solutions, and deliver measurable, lasting results. BRG’s integrated team combines strategy, revenue management, operational excellence, clinical transformation, and technology and AI with the capabilities of a global advisory firm and the agility and client focus of a boutique consultancy.

### 9. Healthcare Analytics and Disputes

BRG addresses complex legal and operational challenges in healthcare using data-driven, objective, and innovative approaches. Experts lead advisory, risk management, and litigation matters, combining deep healthcare industry expertise with research, analytics, and financial modeling.

### 10. Intellectual Property

BRG intellectual property experts and academic affiliates regularly testify on damages, trademark confusion, irreparable harm, and commercial success. Many matters require expertise in consumer behavior and judgment and decision-making, including patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and copyright infringement cases. Associates build econometric models of market prices, analyze survey data and the results of choice experiments, and support preparation of expert reports and other client deliverables.
