Forensic valuation

Valuations in contested or complex situations can stifle deals, negotiations, and settlements. Whatever the context – whether resulting from shareholder or partnership disputes, M&A disagreements, matrimonial cases, compulsory purchase orders, or claims for damages – independent valuers must conduct contested valuations to deliver assessments that are defensible under scrutiny. Impartial forensic expertise is crucial for providing clarity and credibility to courts, tribunals, and arbitration panels. 
 
Our forensic valuation services team integrates accounting, finance, and sector knowledge to deliver objective and proportionate assessments. Reports are designed to withstand cross-examination, support negotiation, and guide resolution in litigation, arbitration, or mediation. Our team combines forensic accounting expertise with proven valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow analysis, earnings multiples, net assets, and industry benchmarks, applied to the specific facts of each case. 

Independence and transparency are at the core of our service. Instructions range from valuing minority shareholdings to quantifying damages in breach of contract or professional negligence claims. We also act as expert witnesses, delivering expert reports and providing oral evidence in UK civil and criminal courts, as well as international arbitration and tribunal hearings. Our independence and transparency support the credibility of our assessments to all stakeholders.
