Manager - Forensic Accounting - #1708954

At Quantuma we possess one of the fastest growing Disputes, Investigations and Valuations (traditionally known as forensic accounting) teams in the UK. Our experts are highly experienced and well rated by those they work with. As part of Quantuma (itself part of K3 Capital Group Plc), one of the UK’s most ambitious advisory firms, we are extremely well placed to become one of the leading forensic accounting teams in the UK.

Work is received from a wide range of law firms in the UK and overseas, with few conflicts of interest experienced by the firm. The Managing Directors are instructed in some of the highest profile litigation, arbitration, matrimonial and investigation matters in the UK and overseas. They have significant witness box experience. However, unlike many teams, we also undertake smaller assignments, allowing team members exposure to a wide range of work and providing them with the opportunity to undertake complex analyses and develop their report-writing skills.

The primary areas of work for the Disputes, Investigations and Valuations Team are expert witness and advisory services in disputes (e.g. shareholder disputes, M&A related disputes, loss of profit claims etc). In addition to commercial disputes, the Team undertakes work in matrimonial, compulsory purchase, personal injury and clinical negligence matters , as well as corporate investigations, asset tracing, and criminal prosecution and defence.
