If your business has been the victim of corporate fraud, can you move quickly to establish the facts and recover any lost assets? Could you respond to a commercial dispute within a tight timeframe? If your industry regulator suddenly needs financial data going back a number of years, do you have the technical expertise to navigate this data minefield? Can you value a business or quantify loss of profits to meet the demands of the courts in a legal dispute?

These are challenges businesses and legal advisers face frequently. Being able to respond to them effectively will require a team with the skills and experience to achieve the best outcome no matter how tight the deadline and an approach that is proportionate to the issue in question.
