Meir Ezra - Success story
I’d like to express my deepest gratitude. You’ve done an excellent job teaching me. At first I was very skeptic, because my business was very successful. I was a very good husband and father, very motivated, confident and competent.
What Meir Ezra teaching has done in my life - words cannot describe. I have achieved new levels with everything.
I thought I loved people and yet I was lacking in some areas of my life. I can write a book about it, but I’ll share just a few VERY important words that were missing in my vocabulary like: Validation, Admiration, Confronting, Beingness, etc.
I was able to turn a HUGE problem into a barrier I can overcome. I am on the road to achieve it. Once everything is done I’ll share more.
Today I am a great husband and father, a much better business man and a better human being. What I’ve learned is unmatchable.
You are an amazing man full of life and appreciation.
Meir Ezra entrepreneur with years of experience across a wide range of fields and an inventor with many patents registered to his name. Established the most successful distributor of gasoline management systems, a company that within three years grew to $100,000,000.
Keeley Hammond: Group Account Director at Think Shift Consulting
Think Shift is an agency and consultancy focusing on brand, culture and leadership. They deliver brands that connect and communicate with audiences, cultures that establish more engaging workplaces and leadership that develop determined leaders and employees who inspire. The shift occurring in media, advertising and the way people interact with different brands has been understood by the firm and sees that clients needed more than a traditional or digital agency could provide. Today’s changing landscape is the reason why Think Shift was built.
They offer an impressive variety of services such as brand and marketing, business communication strategies, leadership training, corporate culture development, design, video, user experience and analytics, web and app development, advertising, social media strategy and public relations. Their outstanding professionals are always eager to help different organizations both inside and out.
Keeley Hammond is the group account director for the consulting services of Think Shift.
She administers and develops client relationships of the firm's consulting portfolio of accounts. She provides financial management of account revenue and profitability of the firm's consulting division, and strategic direction for the clients. She helps the clients to develop frameworks for increasing employee engagement and revenue. She's responsible for achieving positive results through web-based campaigns and programs, and delivers metrics on the overall quality of the relationship and the product provided to the accounts.
Furthermore, she promotes relationships with other account directors and account managers within the firm. She teaches and guides team members while encouraging and handling overall project teams. She identifies and executes best practices and brings overall development of the consulting services.
She attended Rochester Institute of Technology from 2006-2010 where she received her BFA with Honors. In 2011, she left her native home of Kansas City and moved to Portland, Oregon. She previously served as the marketing coordinator in Canada and territory business manager for LogiStyle.
She assisted clients develop both their internal leadership and their corporate culture throughout her three years in LogiStyle. LogiStyle's clients were small, rapidly growing companies, and making a genuine difference in these companies' stories was truly rewarding for her.
Keeley loves to collect stories from books, comics and campfire tales when she was a kid. Now that she's an adult, she has the opportunity to help companies, especially smaller companies, to accurately express their own stories to the world. She had the chance to speak with manufacturing engineers, salt mine workers, CFOs, and each of them has a different but equally fascinating story to tell. She feels fulfillment by knowing that she'll get to be a small part of that larger process.
She also enjoys exploring the mountains of the Columbia Gorge, and watching low budget horror movies.
Wonder what food Keeley gets her creativeness? Surprisingly, it is from a local dish in Rochester, NY, called a garbage plate. It is a mix of ground beef, macaroni salad, home fries and hot sauce. It is often served with a tiny plastic cup of meat grease for added flavor. She lived in Rochester for four years and her creative projects were entirely powered by garbage plates.

Cornerstone Research: Antitrust and Competition Litigation and Regulation
Antitrust and Competition Cornerstone Research provides economic analysis for litigation and regulatory matters involving proposed mergers and allegations of anticompetitive horizontal conduct or monopolization. We have worked on class certification, liability, and damages in a range of industries, including technology, financial institutions, agriculture, telecommunications, and pharmaceuticals. Our staff and experts also have experience with cases at the intersection of antitrust with intellectual property and involving labor and financial markets.
PRACTICE DETAILS
Price Fixing and Horizontal Conduct
Our experience in matters involving allegations of anticompetitive horizontal conduct includes cases in which plaintiffs alleged price fixing, agreements to allocate territories or customers, or group boycotts. We have worked on major cases for the joint defense and for individual clients including recent cases involving milk, credit card interchange fees, LCDs, CRTs, fuel surcharges, auto parts, and LIBOR. In these and other assignments, we have assessed the economic incentives of the alleged participants, tested hypotheses that distinguish competitive from collusive behavior, and assessed the likelihood and quantum of damages.
Illustrative cases include:
*** Southeastern Milk Antitrust Litigation
*** In re Flash Memory Antitrust Litigation
*** SRAM Antitrust Litigation
*** Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation
*** In re International Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation
*** Compensation of Managerial, Professional and Technical Employees Antitrust Litigation
*** In re NASDAQ Market-Makers Antitrust Litigation
*** Aguilar et al. v. Atlantic Richfield Corporation et al.
*** In re High Fructose Corn Syrup Antitrust Litigation
Monopolization and Exclusionary Practices
We have analyzed claims of monopolization, tying, exclusive dealing, and anticompetitive pricing practices, such as loyalty or volume discounts and bundled rebates. We have assessed whether these practices can be attributed to competition among firms, are the result of hard bargaining between buyers and sellers, and have efficiencies that outweigh any potential harm to competition. Our recent experience includes cases involving high-technology products, pharmaceuticals, airlines, and energy.
Illustrative cases include:
*** American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. v. Visa USA, Inc., et al.
*** Microsoft Antitrust Litigation
*** E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company v. Monsanto Company

*** In re Ovcon Antitrust Litigation
*** California Wholesale Electricity Antitrust Litigation
*** Spirit Airlines, Inc. v. Northwest Airlines, Inc.
*** Thales Avionics, Inc. v. Matsushita Avionics Systems Corporation
Mergers and Acquisitions
We have analyzed the potential competitive effects of horizontal and vertical mergers in the context of government investigations and private litigation in the United States and Europe. We apply economic theory to define relevant markets, identify close competitors, determine competitive interactions, analyze potential price impacts and potential for foreclosure, and assess whether there are efficiencies associated with the proposed collaboration.
Our recent merger work includes:
*** Google’s Purchase of ITA Software
*** Comcast–NBC Universal Joint Venture
*** Intel–McAfee Merger
*** InBev’s Acquisition of Anheuser-Busch
*** CoStar Group–LoopNet Merger
*** Google–AdMob Merger
*** Thoratec–Heartware
Class Certification
Cornerstone Research has worked on many direct and indirect purchaser class certification matters. Our case experience and analytical breadth enables us to meet the changing demand for rigorous empirical and conceptual assessment of both the questions of common impact and common proof and of the merits issues that bear on those questions. Recently, we have assisted counsel in matters involving mobile devices, computer components, software, automobiles, and employment practices.

*** In re Skelaxin (Metaxalone) Antitrust Litigation
*** In re Flash Memory Antitrust Litigation
