We have acted for both plaintiffs and defendants on trading issues, mis-selling, misappropriation, mismanagement of assets, and for many other disputes between parties.

Product research, analysis of the product behaviour, valuations, regulation, assessments of materiality and calculation of quantum are all areas resolved through litigation and arbitration.

We provide independent Expert Witness evidence by researching the facts of the case and conducting our own analyses.  The reports are, if necessary, defended in Court or Tribunal by the Expert author.

We can undertake:

Expert Team project management

Quantitative Modelling of financial instruments used

Portfolio Reconstruction, Margin Calculation and Interest Rate assessments

Valuation and quantum calculations for damages

Review the Financial Technology side for issues

Trade Analysis and review of documentation

We are markets specialists and approach all of these issues from a position of standard market practice.  Finance is a challenging field and requires specialists with decades of experience.

 

Sadly, this is a big area of dispute which might incorporate:

Portfolio management, asset allocation, portfolio risk and back-analysis

Poor due diligence and selection of investments

Investments that are not suitable for the client

Analysis of poor or misleading advice

Private equity portfolio management

Fraudulent behaviour

Adviser acting without being subject to official regulatory approval in the jurisdiction

 

It should be remembered that it is very difficult to gain recompense for adviser incompetence as opposed to fraud or negligence – please take legal or other professional advice as necessary.
