Who We Are

We are one of the world’s leading economic consulting firms. We strive to recruit and develop talented people to work together to produce meaningful economic analysis of exceptional quality, and to create a positive impact on our clients and society.

Our International Arbitration practice provides independent economic analysis, valuation and regulatory opinions, damages assessments, expert reports and arbitration testimony. We believe that working in diverse teams, where everybody’s views are considered and respected, helps us to deliver work of the highest standards of quality and integrity.

We are currently recruiting for the Analyst position in the International Arbitration practice in our London and Madrid offices.

Our Analysts usually join us after obtaining an undergraduate degree in Economics and a Master's degree in Finance or Economics, although we also welcome applications from exceptional candidates with an undergraduate degree in Economics and an interest in corporate finance and valuation. At Compass Lexecon, we pride ourselves on providing Analysts with an opportunity to make a real contribution from day one. As an Analyst you become an integral part of the team with the crucial role of developing robust economic analyses and valuation assessments. You will be involved in most aspects of a case, working closely with the case manager. Analysts are expected to demonstrate strong numerical skills, attention to detail, sound analytical judgment and initiative. Analysts typically join us after completing their Master’s degree in economics.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
