Advising on Expert determinations

We are able to draw on our experience of undertaking expert determinations appointments made by the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales when advising a party involved in an expert determination.

If you need to submit evidence in an expert determination we can assist with:

Preparing evidence and financial analysis to support the party’s position;
Drafting objections and negotiating; and
Preparing written submissions on unresolved issues for presentation to an independent expert.

Warranty claims

We regularly advise parties and their legal advisors on the financial and accounting aspect of warranty claims and breach of warranty matters. We will also prepare reports and engage with opposing experts to identify areas of agreement and disagreement. If matters cannot be settled by negotiation or mediation, our experts can provide oral testimony at court or arbitration.
