In recent years M B McGrady & Co. has found an increase in demand for Forensic Accounting and Litigation support services as provided to Clients, Solicitors and Insurance Companies. In providing such services we assist with financial aspects of cases, sometimes appearing as an expert witness which leads to resolution and agreement on contentious issues.
Commercial Litigation
Commercial Litigation may arise either for misrepresentation of breach of Contract, disputes over warranties, due diligence, shareholder disputes or a variety of other problems. In these cases we are able to use our business expertise to quantify losses, evaluate offers, assess internal Control Systems, and assist in negotiation to resolve disputes.
Personal Injury And Fatal Accident
We provide comprehensive reports for the plaintiffs quantifying losses arising from injury or death. This involves extracting data and building a pattern of income from listed information.
We have experience of special claims under the criminal injury compensation scheme. We also apply ourselves to defense work on behalf of Insurance companies in contentious cases.
Negligence Actions
We provide opinion on professional standards in areas of Auditing, Accounting, Taxation and Corporate Finance, Insolvency and Management Consultancy, and we also evaluate the quantity of losses arising from the negligence of other professionals such as lawyers, architects, doctors, surveyors etc.
Business Valuations
Business life often leads to disputes between partners or shareholders which cannot be resolved without establishing a value for the underlying business. We have considerable experience in advising the parties to such disputes and we have acted as expert witnesses when agreement cannot be reached and litigation ensued.
Divorce Settlements
In domestic proceedings, and in business break-ups, the value of the matrimonial assets are often disputed. When the disputed assets include a business or shares in a private company our valuation expertise can be called upon to arrive at a settlement or to perform an evaluation of income. We can appear as expert witness if agreement cannot be reached.
