Independent financial expert evidence for commercial disputes. Prepared in strict compliance with CPR Part 35, written for the court — not the instructing party.
Scope, timetable, and availability confirmed. Formal letter of engagement issued.
All financial records examined and catalogued. Requests for further material made where needed.
Financial analysis conducted using appropriate and defensible methodology. All assumptions documented.
CPR Part 35 compliant report prepared. Findings, conclusions, and quantum set out clearly for a non-specialist reader.
Available for joint expert meetings, joint statements, and oral evidence at trial.
Every report produced by LAC Associates is prepared with a single objective: to assist the court. The expert's overriding duty under CPR Part 35 is to the tribunal, regardless of who bears the costs of instruction.
The analysis is conducted on the evidence as it stands. The methodology is explained and justified. Conclusions reflect honest professional opinion. Where the evidence supports a range of outcomes, that range is stated. Where it does not support a claim, that is stated too.
Solicitors should expect a report that is defensible under cross-examination — not one calibrated to support a preferred outcome.
