Our Civil Litigation approach
We collaborate with clients and their legal teams and will be available to discuss matters of concern as they arise. We also work frequently with litigation funders.
We can provide an initial view on the possible scale of loss and damage and valuation, including considering issues around causation at an early stage as they relate to accounting matters. We offer a pragmatic view on the costs and benefits of commencing or continuing proceedings.
We can provide assistance and advice throughout the litigation process. Typically, and following the court processes, we normally provide a phased approach, consisting of:
- Scoping initial review
- Detailed analytical work
- Draft report and discussion
- Formalisation of expert report
- Exchange of expert reports and experts’ meeting
- Preparation and attendance at trial
Throughout this process, we assist with any alternative dispute resolution initiatives that can be followed in order to resolve the dispute and mitigate lengthy and costly formal court procedures.
