Business disputes can arise anywhere in the world, in multiple circumstances. Organizations may encounter litigation with competitors, suppliers, customers, employees and other stakeholders. In these disputes, seeking help early from a financial professional may increase your chances of a settlement or gaining the upper hand at trial. A financial professional can provide objective opinions on technical, financial matters that require specialized knowledge or experience that members of the court may not possess.
The article, "Leveraging the Power of a Financial Expert in Litigation," reprinted with permission from the May 2008 issue of Lexpert Magazine, outlines key reasons why seeking advice early can put you in a better position. The article was written by Robert Martin, a partner in the Advisory Services practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada, and a member of the Dispute Analysis & Valuations group.
