Forensic accounting & litigation support

There is a good chance that at some point in your business or personal life you will find yourself involved in a legal dispute over money. It could be any of the following:
  • Personal injury claim
  • Contractual dispute
  • Insurance claim
  • Contested business loss
  • Matrimonial dispute
  • Professional negligence claim
  • Tax enquiry
  • Royalty or copyright dispute
  • Fraud investigation
In such cases we can work with your lawyer to study and interpret the facts of the case in a professional manner. Often our involvement at an early stage can result in the matter being settled out of court. If there is a need to pursue litigation, we can:
  • Provide the necessary information and documentation to support your case
  • Produce valuations in support of a claim
  • Act as an expert witness in court
These services can considerably strengthen your case and cut your litigation costs.
