Daniel Djanogly is a Partner at Wilder Coe based in the City of London. He has extensive experience (since 1993) in resolving business disputes as a forensic accountant, ADR neutral expert determiner, or arbitrator. He acts across a wide range of industries and specialises in contested accounting, financial loss and share valuation issues in M&A, shareholder, partnership and other complex disputes, including fraud. Daniel is the rare combination of a Chartered Accountant who is also qualified, accredited, experienced and practising as a Chartered Arbitrator.

Claimants, defendants, or both, appoint Daniel as an independent forensic accountant to provide preliminary advisory services, including for settlement purposes, through to providing opinion evidence as an expert witness in ADR procedures and High Court litigation. He is accredited as an expert witness by the ICAEW and The Academy of Experts and has testified on many occasions. Typical issues include the quantification of damages, particularly loss of profits, the valuation of shareholdings and accounting matters requiring forensic analysis.

As an expert determiner, parties appoint Daniel to resolve disputes by the issue-focused private ADR procedure of expert determination. Ordinarily, this is in relation to completion accounts, purchase price adjustment and deferred consideration in M&A disputes and share valuation issues in shareholder disputes. He accepts appointments directly from the parties in dispute or via appointing authorities on their behalf, including the ICAEW and The Academy of Experts.

As an arbitrator, he is appointed by parties or appointing authorities to resolve their business disputes by the private ADR procedure of arbitration, an alternative to rigidly formal and public court litigation. This includes issues of liability through to damages, quantum, interest and costs. The arbitrations are conducted on an ad hoc or institutional rules basis and are subject to the applicable English arbitration law. Daniel serves on the Panel of Arbitrators of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Daniel Djanogly graduated in Economics from the University of Manchester and trained and qualified (1985) as a Chartered Accountant with a “big four” firm. He has been a partner providing forensic accounting and dispute resolution services for many years at mid-tier (top-20) accountancy and leading insolvency and restructuring firms based in the City of London (and Canary Wharf), and as principal of his own firm. His experience also includes corporate finance, financial management, and commercial insurance loss adjusting services (business interruption insurance).
