"The return of Dennis underscores the strong momentum we enjoyed during 2007," said Jack Dunn, FTI's President and CEO. "The key to our performance has always been the outstanding quality of our great people. Dennis is one of the preeminent antitrust economists in the world, and having him rejoin Compass Lexecon further builds on what was already the best group of competition economists in the market. Furthermore, the global scope of his work at the DOJ greatly enhances our visibility worldwide. His presence will enable our unmatched team to continue to consult on the largest, most complicated antitrust cases. We are delighted to welcome Dennis back to FTI."

Professor Carlton is the co-author of Modern Industrial Organization, a leading text in the field, as well as numerous articles on a variety of topics. He also holds the position of Professor of Economics at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago.
