A finance program designed for competition lawyers
Give structure to the numbers and metrics that matter most to companies and regulators.
You master the law.
The market moves on numbers.
Every quarter, financial documents contain signals that matter to your cases and your clients. Most competition lawyers admit in private this data would help them — they just don’t have a systematic method to find it, read it, and turn it into a legal argument.
Signals go unread
Earnings reports, analyst notes, and regulatory filings contain decisive data that never reaches the legal argument.
Courts and regulators already use this data
Financial analysis is shaping landmark cases and merger decisions. Understanding how it is applied—and challenged—is now a core competency for any top-tier competition lawyer.
Client conversations stall
When a CEO asks about the impact of an investigation or a divestiture on their profits and cash flow, most competition lawyers feel really uncomfortable.
Real changes from week 1
Read a net debt/EBITDA ratio and negotiate a better remedy for your client
Give a credible answer when a judge or regulator asks about numbers, without deferring to an economist
Walk into a client meeting knowing something in the last earnings call that nobody else caught
Explain to a CEO or in-house counsel the impact of an investigation on their company’s bottom line — and separate yourself from every other adviser
Start asking the right questions without fear of looking bad
Differentiate from the rest and sell more. AI is a tool, everyone can use it, reading a corporate balance sheet is a skill

This methodology is what we use at Antitrust Intelligence every day to find signals that matter. The FLAG Programme teaches lawyers the same systematic process — built on years of reading financial statements as a Bloomberg analyst and applying competition law in three jurisdictions. You do not need an economics background. You need a method.
