Cornerstone Research has announced that Dr Boaz Moselle has joined the firm as a senior vice president in London.

Dr Moselle joins from FTI Consulting, where he was senior managing director in the economic and financial consulting practice. He has extensive expertise in international arbitrations and is a renowned expert on energy-related disputes. He serves as an expert witness on a wide range of matters, including the impact of the financial crisis on investment into infrastructure projects and the economic analysis of competition law claims.
