Bubb Research Partners

Legal Precision. Economic Rigor.

Professor Bubb combines a J.D. from Yale Law School with a Ph.D. from Harvard—providing expert testimony that identifies the precise economic questions that matter to legal resolution.

Why Dual Expertise Matters

The Challenge

Complex commercial disputes often require expert testimony that integrates legal doctrine with economic analysis. Economists may miss legal nuances; lawyers may struggle with rigorous quantitative methods. The result: testimony that fails to connect with the trier of fact or withstand cross-examination.

The Solution

Professor Bubb brings a J.D. from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. from the Department of Economics at Harvard, combining deep legal training with advanced economic methodology. This dual expertise enables testimony that speaks the language of the courtroom while maintaining the analytical rigor expected by sophisticated judges and opposing experts.
