Sample Cases:
- Shareholder dispute: Two shareholders had a falling out and needed to understand how each shareholder benefited financially from the business in order to fairly compensate themselves when they parted ways. Our expert report assisted the shareholders in settling their dispute.
- Divorce dispute: One party required an understanding of how funds were dissipated during the marriage. Our expert report assisted the parties in arriving at a settlement of their finances.
