Forensic/Expert witness

Larking Gowen’s forensic accounting and expert witness team specialise in valuing company shares or business interests in connection with matrimonial work or shareholder or commercial disputes. We can provide robust valuations for small family businesses or partnerships through to complex group companies with overseas interests.

We have extensive experience in share and business valuations and apply this to a wide range of commercial disputes related to shareholder issues, to matrimonial and cohabitation proceedings, and business sale and purchase disputes. Our valuation experience is backed by our involvement in Corporate Transaction work, actively assisting clients with buying and selling companies and advising on Management-Buy-Outs.

We can provide our valuation opinions as party expert, or single joint expert or provide a preliminary opinion for mediation purposes.

We also work closely with our team of tax specialists to appraise how funds can be extracted tax efficiently.

In addition to share and business valuation work, we also have experience with:

• Commercial and contractual disputes
• Loss-of-profit cases
• Fraud and theft investigations
• Financial systems assessment and investigations
• Professional negligence
