A team of CRA economists assisted counsel for Watson Wyatt Worldwide and Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby in securing US antitrust clearance for their proposed merger. Both firms operate globally, offering a wide range of services including actuarial consulting, investment management advice, benefits administration, and executive compensation consulting.

The DOJ cleared the proposed merger without modification and without issuance of a Second Request.
