Service 02 · Dispute & Litigation Support
Independent financial analysis that legal proceedings can rely on
When a dispute or legal proceeding turns on the numbers, the quality of the financial analysis underneath matters considerably. We provide findings that are measured, well-evidenced, and written to be understood.
← Back to homeWhat this engagement delivers
Financial analysis that supports the people who need to use it
Disputes and legal proceedings depend on clarity. A financial schedule that cannot be easily followed, or a report framed in terms that only an accountant can interpret, does not serve the proceeding well — regardless of how thorough the underlying work is.
This service is designed to give your legal team something they can work with directly: analysis that is independently conducted, clearly set out, and written so that solicitors, barristers, and the tribunal can follow it without difficulty.
Independent analysis with no prior interest in the outcome
Our conclusions are reached on the basis of the material reviewed, without any relationship to either party.
Supporting schedules cross-referenced to source documents
Every figure in the report can be traced back to a specific document, statement, or entry in the underlying records.
Plain-language explanations alongside the technical work
We write for the reader, not the analyst — so complex financial matters can be followed by everyone at the table.
Where this becomes necessary
When the numbers are in dispute, the analysis needs to be above question
Financial disputes take many forms — a disagreement over the value of assets in a commercial settlement, a question about the quantum of loss in litigation, a challenge to how accounts were prepared in a contractual dispute. In each case, someone has to produce the financial analysis, and the way it is produced matters.
Analysis that comes from an interested party carries less weight. Analysis that is difficult to follow invites challenge. Analysis that was conducted without proper documentation of the methodology is hard to defend under cross-examination. These are practical problems that good forensic accounting work avoids from the outset.
If you are at an early stage — gathering material, considering your position — having independent analysis available early can shape the strategy constructively. If proceedings are already underway, we can work to the timetable your legal team requires.
What we do
Analysis built for the proceeding it supports
The scope of each engagement is shaped by what the dispute actually requires. We do not produce a standard report and adapt it — we understand the matter, agree the key questions, and structure the analysis around those.
Quantum of loss analysis
Where a proceeding requires a careful, well-documented calculation of financial loss, we build the analysis with full workings — so the figure can be followed, tested, and defended.
Account reconstruction
Where the financial records are incomplete, inconsistent, or in dispute, we work through the available material to construct the most reliable picture the evidence allows.
Valuation support
For disputes involving the value of a business, assets, or interests, we provide analysis and commentary that can be used to inform or challenge a valuation position in proceedings.
Expert report preparation
Where the engagement calls for a formal expert report, we produce one that meets the standards required for use in court or arbitration — clearly structured and properly referenced.
Working alongside your team
A collaborative process that fits around your legal team
Forensic accounting support works best when it is integrated with the legal strategy from an early stage. We are used to working alongside solicitors and counsel — picking up the brief at whatever stage you need us and fitting into the existing structure without friction.
Early engagement
Shaping the financial narrative
If you are still developing your position, independent analysis at this stage can clarify what the numbers actually show — and help identify where the strongest ground lies before proceedings begin.
During proceedings
Analysis to a legal timetable
We work to deadlines set by your legal team and are accustomed to the pace that litigation requires. You will have what you need when you need it — without the analysis becoming an obstacle.
At hearing
Available to explain the work
Where the engagement calls for it, we can attend hearings, explain the analysis to the tribunal, and respond to questions about methodology or specific figures in the report.
Investment
Clear pricing from the outset
This service begins at 4,800 USD, which covers the core analysis and reporting for a contained dispute matter. More complex cases — those involving multiple parties, longer time periods, or significant volumes of documentation — are scoped and quoted individually.
We do not begin work until the scope and fee are agreed in writing. If a matter develops in a direction that requires additional work beyond the original scope, we discuss that with you before proceeding.

What to expect
How the engagement typically runs
Each dispute engagement is different, but the approach is consistent: understand the matter clearly, conduct the analysis carefully, and deliver something that can be used with confidence.
Days 1–3
Brief and scope
We take the brief from your legal team, review the key documents, and agree the exact scope of the analysis to be produced.
Weeks 1–3
Analysis
The financial analysis is conducted methodically, with working papers maintained throughout and regular contact with your team as needed.
Week 4
Report draft
A draft is shared with your legal team for review. We discuss the findings and incorporate any necessary clarifications before final delivery.
Ongoing
Proceedings support
We remain available to your legal team through the course of proceedings — for queries, supplementary analysis, or to attend hearings if required.
Timelines are adjusted to fit your legal timetable. The above reflects a typical contained engagement; more complex matters are discussed at scoping.
Our commitment
What you should expect from this engagement
Genuine independence
Our analysis is conducted without any prior connection to either party. We follow the evidence and report what it shows — that is what independence means in practice.
Confidential handling
All material shared with us for the engagement is handled with the same care we apply to our most sensitive matters. Confidentiality is not optional — it is standard.
No fee before agreed scope
The initial conversation is without charge. An engagement letter setting out the scope and fee is issued before any work begins — you decide whether and when to proceed.
Responsive to your legal team
We understand that litigation moves quickly. We are accessible, meet agreed deadlines, and communicate clearly when anything needs to be discussed.
How to begin
Getting started is a simple conversation
Whether you are at an early stage of a dispute or already in proceedings, a brief description of what you need is enough to begin. We will come back to you within one working day.
01
Describe the matter briefly
A few sentences about the dispute and what you need the analysis to address. There is no obligation attached to making contact at this stage.
02
We discuss the brief
A short call with you or your legal team to understand the key questions and confirm whether this is a good fit. No fee applies to this conversation.
03
Scope agreed, work begins
We issue a written engagement letter with the scope, deliverable, and fee clearly set out. Once you confirm, we begin — working to your timetable.
