Helder VasconcelosHelder VasconcelosPartner and Nuno AlvimNuno AlvimPartnerenjoyed leading the discussion on damages estimation at this week’s ThoughtLeaders4 Competition’s event - European Competition Litigation Circle. 

The session explored key questions, including:

• What broader role can economists play in litigation beyond quantifying damages?

• How can economic analysis stay grounded in market realities without overlapping with liability findings?

• How should courts approach asymmetry when only one side presents detailed economic evidence?

• Can we move beyond standard overcharge assumptions, as seen in the Trucks case?
