Forensic Accounting and Litigation Support

Forensic accountants provide specialist advice for resolving business-related disputes or settling legal action.

Our Partner-led team have over 20 years of experience handling personal, corporate, or contractual investigations and disputes. We deliver a comprehensive range of financial, accounting, taxation, and investigative services to assist any case.

We act for defendants, claimants and as single joint or party-appointed experts.

We act as an expert witness in fraud and criminal cases, providing a clear and concise interpretation and presentation of the facts for court and civil proceedings.

Often legal proceedings require financial knowledge to establish the quantum of a claim or deep dive into complex transactions and business relationships. Our team provide objective and unbiased judgements that withstand challenges in court.

Working in collaboration with the legal profession across various business and industry cases, our forensic accountants understand that every situation is unique and deliver a bespoke service.

Led by Bee-Lean Chew, our forensic team will advise you with our findings clearly and concisely. Our involvement and approach from the beginning are invaluable to your client.

Our breadth of expertise and knowledge can make a real difference to clients in complex financial matters.

We are members of the Network of Independent Forensic Accountants (NIFA).
