Financial Disputes & Litigation Support

The financial evidence counsel must rely on.

Independent financial litigation support for counsel when the value of a claim, settlement or contested position depends on quantum, valuation, models or other financial evidence that must withstand scrutiny.

Clarify the financial position before the argument hardens.

Every consequential financial decision should rest on established fact — not assertion — and hold up when it is tested.

Financial facts. Defensible decisions.

The HALD method Establish the facts. Test the assumptions. Document the reasoning.

Typical triggers
A

Contested quantum, damages or valuation

A settlement, claim or valuation hinges on figures that must be clear, traceable and able to withstand challenge before positions harden.

B

Completion accounts & earn-outs

Completion mechanics or earn-out differences need an independent financial read before a dispute forms.

C

Report or expert-model critique

A report, model or expert opinion requires a second opinion or a reasoned counter-position.

Typical outputs
  • Quantum / exposure assessment
  • Model or report review / second opinion
  • Financial-facts and evidence-gap assessment
Who it serves

Corporate and litigation counsel facing contested quantum, completion accounts, earn-outs, warranty & indemnity, shareholder disputes, damages or financial-data gaps.

Scope boundary. Independent financial analysis and, under an agreed scope, party-adviser support. This does not imply appointment as a court or tribunal expert; any formal expert role, report or testimony requires a separate written mandate.

Where HALD helps
Before proceedings

Assess exposure

Establish exposure, quantum and evidence gaps before positions are taken.

During proceedings

Test the numbers

Test models, calculations and financial assertions as they are advanced.

Before settlement

Set the range

Establish a defensible range and negotiation position.

Before expert instruction

Frame the questions

Identify the questions any expert analysis must answer.

Why HALD

  • Operator judgement. Finance, risk, capital, liquidity and governance experience applied to the decision at hand.

HALD provides independent financial analysis and reasoned financial judgement. It does not provide legal, tax or investment advice, statutory audits or formal valuation opinions unless expressly agreed in a separate written engagement. HALD does not replace management or the statutory auditor. Party-adviser support does not constitute appointment as an independent expert for a court or tribunal; any expert mandate requires a separate written engagement.
