Expert Witness Snapshot

I have spent the last 35 years providing specialist forensic accounting and expert witness services to law firms and clients in matrimonial and commercial proceedings. I have been instructed in numerous Family cases involving companies in many different fields. I have given evidence in the High Court and the Central Family Court many times.  My reported cases are NA v MA [2006] EWHC 2900 (Fam); J v J [2009] EWHC 2654 (Fam); R v R [2009] EWHC 1267 (Fam), Goddard-Watts v Goddard-Watts [2016] EWHC 3000 (Fam) and CB v KB [2019] EWFC 78.

I have presented lectures on how to value companies and businesses in matrimonial proceedings; on tax issues relating to divorce; and on how to interpret company accounts to Family lawyers and barristers at Resolution conferences, Jordan Publishing conferences, Family Law Chambers (1 Hare Court, Queen Elizabeth Building and One King\'s Bench Walk) and at leading Family Law firms.

I have extensive experience of all aspects of matrimonial disputes including:
* Reporting on the values and liquidity of companies and businesses.
* Reporting on sustainable income.
* Investigating the completeness of financial disclosures.
* Assisting in the preparation of Forms E and Questionnaires in complex cases.
* Advising on tax efficient structuring of settlements.
* Advising in the capacity of a shadow expert.

I have always adopted a sensitive and practical approach to my role as I understand the stress that litigation causes to those involved.  I was a founder partner of my firm and am now a full-time consultant.
