Shareholder Dispute Expert is an international corporate finance advisory and forensic accounting expert witness practice specializing in independent business valuations and loss quantification for shareholder disputes, unfair prejudice petitions, partnership dissolutions, and contentious private equity actions. Instructions are accepted worldwide; UK reports are prepared to Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Part 35 standards where applicable.

Companies Act 2006 Section 260 and Expert Evidence

Derivative actions require the company to be the claimant, with loss quantified at entity level. Expert witnesses establish director misfeasance pathways, asset siphoning amounts, and commercial waste using forensic accounting aligned with CPR Part 35 and Chancery Division practice.

Core Forensic Capabilities

  • Quantifying loss to the company from director breach of duty
  • Forensic reconstruction of misfeasance and asset siphoning pathways
  • Commercial waste and uncommercial transaction analysis
  • Supporting permission stage and substantive derivative claim quantum

Typical Litigation Scenarios

  • Section 260 derivative claim permission applications
  • Substantive derivative actions for director misfeasance
  • Institutional shareholder derivative strategies
  • Cross-reference with asset diversion and freezing order evidence

Valuation Methodology Focus

  • Company-loss quantum modelling distinct from shareholder prejudice
  • Forensic tracing integrated with valuation of eroded enterprise value
  • CPR Part 35 compliant reporting for Chancery Division tracks
  • Consequential loss quantification in breach of shareholder agreement contexts

CPR Part 35 Mandate Assurance

Derivative claim expert reports address the court under CPR Part 35 with clear separation of company loss, causation, and remedial quantum suitable for Chancery Division determination.
