Forensic Accounting Experience
I am a Partner of FAS, Forensic Accounting Solutions, based in the London office. I have been carrying out forensic accountancy assignments for 20 years and have been involved in numerous litigation cases.
I carry out forensic assignments for both Claimants and Defendants and act as Single Joint Expert. I am also instructed as shadow expert and advisor. I have attended the High Court and County Court as the Expert Accountant giving evidence at trial on the substance of my reports. I have experience of periodic payments and have presented on the subject to firms of solicitors, together with barrister chambers.
My expertise is in the quantification of past and future loss of earnings and benefits, share schemes in companies, future loss of pension and all other income sources.
My field of expertise is predominantly in the areas of personal injury, fatal accident and clinical negligence claims. I am also involved in cases of Miscarriage of Justice, business interruption and loss of profit claims.
Having been involved in litigation work for 20 years, I have quantified loss of earningsÚ claims in most industries including those in the field of accountancy, law, medicine, financial advisors and brokers, architects, journalists, designers and photographers, musicians, footballers, livery business, the MOD and the building trade.
Presentations
I have given presentations to many firms of solicitors and insurance companies on loss of earnings and loss pension claims. I have also lectured and written articles that have been published in The Lawyer, APIL newsletter and the Journal of Personal Injury Law.
