# Resolution Economics LLC - **Type:** Advisory firm - **Website:** https://resecon.com - **Assessed by:** The Assurance Desk (Add-Venture Advisory Ltd) A Los Angeles economics consultancy, founded 1998. Its Human Capital Strategy Group audits automated hiring tools for bias under New York City's Local Law 144 in the US. ## Resolution Economics scores Scored 1 to 5 on six criteria. There is no overall score. ### Help when things go wrong: 3/5 25+ years defending employment-discrimination class actions and formal comments filed on NYC's AEDT rulemaking, but no publicly documented AI-specific enforcement defense or incident was found. ### Qualifications of the people who do the work: 5/5 Practice head Victoria Lipnic is a former EEOC Acting Chair; the AI Audit Team holds multiple PhDs in economics and statistics, per resecon.com's Insights page. ### What it publishes about fees: 1/5 No fee schedule, hourly rates, or pricing methodology is published on resecon.com's service, AI-audit, or about pages reviewed. ### Knowledge of your sector: 4/5 Deep specialism in AEDT/Local Law 144 bias-audit statistics since the 2023 rulemaking, but no evidence found of NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001 advisory competence. ### Independence from what it sells: 4/5 Sells audit and expert-testimony services rather than compliance software, so findings are not a funnel toward an in-house tool; a private-equity ownership stake since 2020 is undisclosed on its own site. ### Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong: 2/5 No public disclosure found of professional-liability insurance, indemnification terms, or a named case study documenting a specific audit outcome. ## Sources for Resolution Economics Every line carries the page it was read on and the date it was checked. - Resolution Economics, LLC is listed in New York's official active-entity register as a foreign limited liability company formed in California, DOS ID 4974595, initial filing 8 July 2016. - Source: https://data.ny.gov/Economic-Development/Active-Corporations-Beginning-1800/n9v6-gdp6 - Checked: 2026-09-20 - Resolution Economics offers an independent third-party AI Bias Audit service for Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs), covering selection-rate and impact-ratio calculations required under NYC Local Law 144. - Source: https://resecon.com/ai-bias-audit/ - Checked: 2026-09-20 - The firm's Human Capital Strategy Group, which runs its AI/AEDT bias-audit work, is headed by Victoria A.

Lipnic, a former EEOC Acting Chair, plus an AI Audit Team of PhD labor economists and statisticians (Gurkan Ay, Ye Zhang, Paul White, Elaine Reardon) and Margo Pave, Esq. - Direct engagement with the NYC regulator: the AI Audit Team submitted formal comments on the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection's proposed AEDT bias-audit rules (Jan 2023) and was quoted in the Wall Street Journal on Law 144 enforcement (Jul 2023). - 25+ years of employment-discrimination statistical and expert-testimony work underpins the technical bias-audit methodology (selection rates, scoring rates, impact ratios). - Sells audit and litigation-support services rather than compliance software, so its AEDT bias-audit findings are not tied to steering clients toward an in-house monitoring platform. ## Things to check Each one carries the factual basis it rests on. - No evidence found of NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, or Colorado AI Act advisory work; the firm's public AI-governance materials cover only NYC Local Law 144 AEDT bias audits. - Basis: resecon.com's AI Bias Audit page and Insights page describe only NYC AEDT methodology and rulemaking comments, with no NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 or Colorado AI Act content found in the pages reviewed - No published fee schedule, hourly rates, or engagement-cost methodology on the firm's public website. - Basis: resecon.com's AI Bias Audit, services, and about pages contain no pricing or fee-structure information - The firm is privately held by a private-equity sponsor since January 2020, a financial-ownership structure not disclosed anywhere on the firm's own website. - Basis: Levine Leichtman Capital Partners' own portfolio page lists Resolution Economics as an active LMM II/SCAP-fund investment since January 2020 ## Where this firm appears - [Your sector adds its own rules to UK data protection law](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/sector-regulated) - [Compare providers](https://theassurancedesk.com/compare) --- **Scope.** The Assurance Desk covers data protection, AI governance and cyber security in the United Kingdom and the United States. It scores providers in both: UK-facing firms, and firms based in the United States. Every provider scored so far was selected for data-protection, AI-governance or security-assurance work. Where a page describes law, it names the country that law applies in. **Who publishes this.** The Assurance Desk is published by Add-Venture Advisory Ltd, company number 11854524, registered in England and Wales. The same owner runs Avouch, a marketing agency that sells AI visibility services to firms of the kind this site covers. That is a conflict of interest, and it is disclosed here. **Corrections.** If you represent this firm and something here is wrong or out of date, email hello@theassurancedesk.com with the evidence.
