Litigation Support

Losses can impact you in business and personally in a myriad of ways. The road to recoupment is paved with complexity – dealing with the legal system, having sufficient proof, your word against theirs, proving fraud, in fact, just proving you have suffered a loss can be a challenging exercise. And quite often, it gets down to a duel between your advisers.

We have the experts who can support you through what is often a challenging process. You may have -

• Suffered an Economic loss
• Been caught up in a business dispute – partnership exit, shareholder valuation – just two examples
• Been the subject of fraud
• Come to a relationship breakdown

Our team can help you with all the aspects of the litigation by –

1. Simplifying the process, 
2. Providing clear and strong communications every step of the way, 
3. Being able to effectively liaise with your legal advisers,
4. Providing commercially minded explanations that can stand the heat of the court room, 
5. Utilising the experience set out in our Share & Business Valuation services,
6. Providing an Independent Expert’s Report if needed – see our separate services in this area, 
7. Being able to step into mediation and help work towards a resolution if the parties are willing, and
8. If required, dealing with your bank if the outcome requires financial support in any way, properly communicating the issues to help minimise any concerns.
9. Ensure that income tax is considered in the final outcome.

Not all disputes have to end up in the court room. We may have the right connection to the parties to assist in arriving at an independent resolution without the need to start briefing lawyers. Proper disclosures are required, and it is important that all parties are receiving independent advice.

1. Business and other financial disputes take many shapes. Our broad experience in this area can help, with the right communication, perhaps avoid a legal dispute and enable differences to be settled commercially.
2. Litigation is not a gentle process. You have enough to focus on in keeping the day-to-day happening. Let us take the load and document the evidence and information you need to present.
3. Negotiation is an art. The emotion of the litigation can often interfere with clear thinking. We can provide the clarity you need in these situations.
4. Our financial skills will ensure that the necessary supporting documentation is properly prepared. We are able to model most scenarios to ensure that the loss or disputed value is presented fairly.
5. Our professional skills will be of assistance in your dealings with the legal system, whether it be communicating with and responding to your own legal team or dealing with hostile requests for information.
