Forensic accounting and expert witness services regarding matrimonial proceedings
When a marriage breaks down, it can be a very difficult time for the parties involved. This is often compounded by financial disputes, particularly if one or both parties hold shares in a family business or a privately owned company.
At Moore Kingston Smith, we have a wealth of experience providing forensic accounting and expert witness services in the context of matrimonial proceedings, both under party-appointed and single joint expert instructions.
Our expertise in this area centres on valuing businesses and privately owned companies operating across a wide range of industry sectors. These range from small single-location enterprises to large international groups and investment holding companies.
Additionally, our team can provide expert opinion covering:
- assessment of future sustainable income
- company cash extraction without affecting core activities
- tax implications arising from the sale of shares or company cash extraction
- diversion of income or assets.
Our experts have given evidence in the Family Courts on numerous occasions and are highly experienced in dealing with counsel. We are also familiar with instructions on a ‘shadow expert’ basis to assist a party in its review of a single joint expert report, or on anomalies or inconsistencies in the information supplied by a party on their Form E.
Contact our lead partner, Ben Leandro, to discuss how we can help you.
