I was asked by two shareholders to firstly assist them in valuing their company to facilitate the exit of one party due to irreconcilable differences.

This was quite a small case, but relatively complex.

I was asked by the owner of a small chain of pubs to investigate why his income had fallen in the previous 6 months. The businesses had a turnover of about £3m.

I was appointed by the Bournemouth Family Court to act as a single joint expert and to review the expenditure of Dr B to establish whether the apparent significant reduction in funds held by Dr B between the first and second hearing was as a result of normal living or "excessive expenditure".

In this case, a single joint expert had been appointed to value a group of businesses owned by Mr and Mrs A.
