David Watt & Co acts as independent forensic accounting experts in contentious and high-value matters where financial evidence is central to the issues in dispute. We assist solicitors, barristers, insurers, and corporate counsel by providing objective analysis, loss quantification, and expert reporting that is structured to withstand cross-examination.

Our experience includes:

• Commercial and contractual disputes
• Business interruption and loss of profits claims
• Fraud, misappropriation, and financial investigations
• Shareholder, partnership, and valuation disputes
• Insolvency and breach of directors’ duties matters
• Family law and relationship property proceedings
• Matters involving incomplete, unreliable, or unrecorded financial data

We understand the evidentiary environment in which expert opinions are tested. Our reports are:

• Independent and compliant with expert witness obligations
• Methodical, transparent, and fully supported
• Focused on the real issues in dispute
• Written to be understood by non-financial decision-makers

Director-level involvement is maintained throughout each engagement, ensuring consistency of opinion and accountability. We work efficiently with legal teams, identify the documents and assumptions that matter, and avoid unnecessary analysis that adds cost without advancing the case.

Our role is to assist the court by clarifying financial issues — not to advocate.
