This includes addressing questions such as:

- What is a reasonable price for accessing regulated infrastructure such as broadband and electricity networks?
- How should water rights be allocated?
- Is the current design of the wholesale electricity market resulting in efficient outcomes?

- What loss has a party suffered due to a breach of contract?
- How material is the damage that consumers have suffered due to collusive pricing by suppliers?

- Providing intellectual thought leadership, both in a project context and as part of business development efforts (e.g. presenting at conferences);
- Taking leadership/ownership of drafting memos, presentations, reports and expert evidence;
- Participating in business development activities;
- Managing large data sets and developing new approaches to collect and visualize data

**What we offer**

NERA provides a challenging and rewarding professional experience with competitive compensation and benefits. You will be working in a collegial and intellectually challenging environment where independent and innovative thought is encouraged and rewarded. We are a small, tightly knit team with a flat structure, so from the outset you will have responsibility and direct interaction with clients, which include large law firms, corporates and regulators. The intention of this position is hire one of the future leaders within our team, so there is excellent potential for personal and professional growth.

We only work on high-stakes and complex issues and disputes, so our work is intellectually rewarding and constantly evolving.
