About
Our Commitment to Independent and Practical Economic Advice
At Fox Economics, everything revolves around delivering clear, independent, and practical economic advice.
We understand that every case is unique, and we tailor our analyses and recommendations to the specific context of our clients, whether it involves a competition case, a merger, state aid, or a damages procedure.
Our team collaborates with a broad network of experienced consultants, academics, and experts, both within and outside the Netherlands. This flexible cooperation allows us to scale up quickly, deploy the right expertise, and execute complex projects efficiently, without compromising on quality.
Transparency, integrity, and well-founded analysis are at the core of our approach. We combine academic depth with practical applicability, providing our clients not only with insights but also with concrete solutions that truly work.
Our approach is based on collaboration and knowledge sharing. We believe that the best results emerge when economic insight, legal expertise, and practical experience come together. That is why we work closely with our clients, listen to their challenges, and translate complex economic issues into clear, actionable advice that truly adds value.
Our Philosophy
We believe that economic expertise is only truly valuable when it leads to practical decisions. That’s why we combine academic precision with pragmatic approaches, focused on results and clarity.
Our Focus
Our focus is on supporting companies, governments, and law firms with complex economic issues — from competition and regulation to damage assessments. We provide insight, structure, and strategic substantiation at every stage of the process.
