BRG is a different kind of consulting firm, one that makes intelligence work by combining data analysis with extensive industry experience, creative perspectives with deep business knowledge, and big picture thinking to help our clients solve their complex litigation problems. With this, your experience at BRG will be different than your average consulting firm. We are committed to developing recent PhD candidates in house through both senior staff and expert mentoring and training programs, administered by our learning and development team.

Our consultants benefit by working in a highly collaborative office setting throughout our offices in Boston, NYC, Washington, DC, Chicago, Emeryville, and Los Angeles. Our expectation is that our consultants are in the office at least one day a work week to collaborate with their teams and the experts.

As an experienced or newly minted PhD, you will have an opportunity to be part of a team that helps us provide independent and sound advice to help our clients solve some of their most complex issues.
