Litigation Advisory

At times attorneys need assistance addressing and presenting complex accounting, financial, and business issues for litigation. When seeking consulting services, law firms demand experience, training, and expertise. An experienced consultant gives attorneys the confidence that the numbers are in order and that they support the case, which allows the attorney to concentrate on the legal issues.

The HTB litigation team can gather, organize, and interpret financial data for attorneys, judges, and juries for a variety of cases. We have extensive experience working alongside attorneys and educating them on accounting, financial and business matters.

Expert Witness

When legal disputes arise, having the support of a knowledgeable and credible expert witness can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. If an expert opinion on financial damages, valuation disputes, or forensic accounting matters is required, we apply industry best practices and deliver objective and credible testimony that strengthens your case.

Forensic Accounting & Fraud Investigations

The consequences of fraud extend far beyond financial losses. Fraud can damage your organization’s reputation, erode customer trust and even lead to legal ramifications. By engaging HTB fraud & investigative services, you can proactively protect your business from these risks. Our expertise enables us to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, implement effective controls and develop comprehensive fraud prevention strategies.

Divorce & Family Matters

Emotions run high in cases of marital dissolution, affecting all parties involved. While it is a straightforward requirement for each party to fully and honestly disclose their assets and earnings, accusations of inaccuracies or non-disclosure often arise. We play a crucial role in these situations by offering equality when evaluating the financial disclosures of both parties.

Our team adds value to these matters by providing unbiased objectivity with regard to both party’s financial disclosures. The goal of these engagements is to ensure as complete and accurate financial disclosure as possible by both parties.

Economic Damages

Accurate valuation of economic damages is vital to ensure fair compensation and mitigate financial losses. By leveraging our expertise, you can bolster your case, strengthen your negotiation position and ultimately achieve a more favorable outcome.

Whether you’re dealing with a breach of contract, intellectual property infringement or a business interruption, our dedicated team of financial experts is here to help. We specialize in evaluating and quantifying the economic impact of various events, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the financial losses incurred. 

Disputes

When business partnerships or shareholder relationships encounter legal disputes, the stakes can be high and businesses need protection for the future. These disputes can jeopardize the stability, reputation and profitability of your organization. They have the potential to disrupt key decision-making processes, hinder growth and even lead to the dissolution of partnerships. Our dedicated team helps you navigate these challenges, mitigating risks and resolving disputes efficiently.

We encompass a wide range of legal matters, including contract disputes, intellectual property disputes, shareholder disputes, fraud investigations, and more. We work closely with you and your legal team to provide comprehensive financial analysis, expert witness testimony, and litigation support services tailored to your specific needs. Combining a deep understanding of finance and accounting with extensive litigation experience, we are here to assist you throughout the litigation process.

Valuations

A business valuation is a formal process to estimate the value of a business and is necessary if the value of the business is in dispute. It relies on the professional judgment of an analyst who weighs the nature of the business, its financial performance, local and national economic conditions, values of assets and related liabilities, plus any unique know-how or proprietary technology to arrive at an estimate of the value of the business.
