Litigation Support

 

Financial evidence is critical in the dispute resolution and prosecution process. It is often central to an early settlement as well as providing the substance and clear understanding a court needs to make the right decision.

Our forensic experts provide investigative, financial, accounting and taxation services to assist in dispute situations, including the presentation of precise, accurate and authoritative information to help build a litigation case or obtain a settlement. We can also assist you to manage litigation from both a cost management and risk assessment perspective.

We are often called upon to examine the conduct of accountants to help quantify loss resulting from professional negligence actions, as well as to reconstruct financial statements to assist the courts, counsel and solicitors in understanding damages claims.
