Home / Lawyers and liquidators

The numbers a matter turns on.

We work for law firms, liquidators and creditors. We quantify loss, calculate remediation and underpayments person by person on the reading you set, and build claims line by line, as working papers for the instructing lawyer or the liquidator.

A few lines is enough. We reply with how we would approach it and a written scope and fee.

The questions we answer
  1. What is the claim worth, and how was it reached?
  2. What is each employee or customer owed?
  3. How does pay under the agreement compare with the award, on your reading of both?
  4. What can each creditor recover?
