Research Analyst Intern (Economics & Finance) - Summer 2026

This internship program will provide you with the opportunity to apply the economic concepts you're learning in the classroom in a professional services setting. It will also help you to improve your research and data analysis skills as well as learn to manage and prioritize tasks.

As a Research Analyst intern at The Brattle Group, you will be integral to our project teams, collaborating with senior consultants and experts. Your responsibilities will include:

• Building economic, financial, and operational models using Excel (e.g. valuation models, estimating cost of capital).
• Conducting comprehensive research, including financial statements, market analysis, literature reviews, document examination, and writing memos to provide insights and support expert reports.
• Assisting in preparing expert reports and presentations, helping our experts present complex economic and financial concepts clearly in legal and regulatory contexts.
• Working closely with colleagues at all levels, contributing to the development of robust and innovative solutions for our clients.

• Examining firm trading activities and earnings to assess the likelihood of fraud and illegal behavior.
• Evaluating restructuring plans, financial disclosures, and analyzing recoveries to creditors.
• Analyzing large databases of documents and financial information to identify fraud and money laundering.

You will work in a collaborative and fun atmosphere where dedication to project success and individual career and professional development are emphasized. You will have the opportunity to discover where your strengths and interests lie and how you can best apply your skills. The work environment is casual; the atmosphere is collegial; and there is significant, on-going contact between senior and junior staff. This is a hybrid role with in-office and remote working expectations.

The ideal candidates will be pursuing:

• An undergraduate degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. economics, finance, business, accounting), with strong academic performance. Successful applicants typically have a GPA of 3.7 or higher (based on a 4.0 scale).
• Great teamwork and leadership skills. Our project work is done almost exclusively on teams, so it's critical that our RAs work well with others.
• Intellectual curiosity and creativity. We are looking for candidates who consistently want to learn more and approach problems with creativity.
