Forensic
The continuing rise in the number of cases concerning financial disputes between corporate entities and private individuals has meant that we are increasingly being called upon to provide forensic accounting services.
Many cases require us to meet and discuss our opinion with lawyers and barristers, and so to attend court as an accounting expert witness. Our partners also have experience of acting in cases where personal estates and companies need to be professionally valued. Below are listed some examples of previous cases:
Example Cases
- Acting for an employee claiming compensation for a breach of employment contract.
- Acting for software/marketing company in claim for breach of contract by motor manufacturer.
- Acting for former director/shareholder in claim by previous company for breach of covenants in termination contract.
- Prepared loss of profits claim for lighting retailer claiming against landlord of premises from which they traded affected by flood damage.
Professional Negligence
- Acting for architects defending a claim for deficient work on the building of a garden centre and another case for deficient work on the building of a furniture/carpet retail store.
- Acting for accountants in respect of a claim for negligent valuation of a business.
- Acting for medical professional body defending practitioners in claim for negligent medical attention.
