Litigation Support

There are a number of areas in which we can assist in the determination of disputes between individuals and, where necessary, to support the legal process by providing expert accounting evidence and advice to Solicitors and Barristers. We are frequently asked to advise on accounting issues associated with disputes and to provide expert accounting advice based upon current accounting principles and standards.

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. 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.

Our specialists have extensive experience in providing independent accountancy evidence in legal cases, accepting instructions from lawyers acting on behalf of plaintiff or defendant, or from the court as single joint expert.

We take great care to consider the facts of the case objectively and without bias, and to present our evidence (both written and verbal) clearly so that it can be understood by non-accountants.

Circumstances in which our expert opinion may be helpful include:

• Matrimonial breakdown
• Personal injury
• Medical negligence
• Partnership dissolution
• Professional negligence
• Share valuations
• Consequential loss claims, etc
  

Our assistance can help you clarify the issues and avoid unnecessary legal costs.
