Forensic Accounting Services:
Financial Complexity to Courtroom Clarity
At Ellacotts Forensic Services, our forensic services team brings extensive experience to a wide range of legal claims, both civil and criminal, for corporations and individuals alike. No matter the scale of your dispute, we deliver independent, cost-effective analysis and expert advice.
Our in-house expertise allows us to respond swiftly, even in the most complex and challenging situations. We have collaborated with legal professionals and law enforcement agencies across the UK and abroad.
Our Forensic services offer specialised support in legal disputes and financial investigations, including expert witness reports and testimony in civil and criminal courts, reports for and attendance at mediations and arbitrations as part of ADR, and expert determinations. We commonly handle matters involving loss quantification, valuation, and potential fraud.
In addition to providing expert reports and advisory reports, we are also frequently called upon to provide ad-hoc advice at any stage of legal proceedings, applying a practical approach informed by decades of experience in accountancy, valuation, investigations, and dispute resolution.
Our team consists of professionals with diverse backgrounds in accounting and related fields, such as tax and wealth planning, bringing a wealth of practical business knowledge. This, combined with our deep understanding of the litigation landscape, enables us to address even the most intricate issues.
Our in-house experts are seasoned courtroom professionals, familiar with the complexities of legal procedures and have managed hundreds of cases throughout their careers. We are well-regarded by both barristers and solicitors for our ability to clarify financial evidence and our strong track record of success, ensuring that our work withstands rigorous cross-examination.
