S&W launches economic advisory practice

Professional services group S&W has launched a new economic advisory practice with the appointments of Schellion Horn and Jonathan Gillham as partners.

The new division will provide economic advisory and independent expert services across policy, regulation, competition and contentious matters, supporting government bodies, regulators and corporate clients.

Schellion brings more than 25 years’ experience in competition, regulation and disputes, while Jonathan joins with a background in macroeconomic modelling and policy analysis, including previous roles at HM Treasury and PwC.

Schellion said: “I am excited to be joining S&W to launch and build this new offering. 

“What attracted me to the firm is its ambitious growth agenda and strong platform for collaboration. 

“Economics increasingly sits at the heart of complex commercial, regulatory and public policy decisions, and S&W has exactly the right mix of expertise to address these challenges for clients across the public and private sectors.”

Jonathan added: “S&W presents a genuinely compelling opportunity to apply economic analysis in a practical, transparent and commercially focused environment. 

“I am looking forward to working with colleagues across audit, forensics and consulting to help clients better understand economic risk, quantify loss and make more informed strategic decisions.”

The launch reflects growing demand for specialist economic insight alongside wider consulting, forensics and restructuring services.

John Rugman, head of advisory at S&W, added: “The launch of our economic advisory practice is a significant milestone for S&W. 

“Schellion and Jonathan bring exceptional credibility, leadership and technical expertise, and their appointments demonstrate our commitment to continuing to build a market‑leading advisory business. 

“By embedding economics within our broader advisory offering, we are uniquely positioned to support clients on their most complex regulatory, contentious and strategic challenges.”
