HALD Advisory

Financial Disputes & Decision Advisory

Financial facts. Defensible decisions.

Every consequential financial decision should rest on established fact — not assertion — and hold up when it is tested.

Three core services.
One defensible financial fact base.

Independent financial analysis and senior CFO/CRO judgement, scoped around the decision that counsel, investors or the board must make next.

01Financial Disputes

Financial Disputes & Litigation Support

Independent financial analysis and, where appropriate, party-adviser support under an agreed scope — establishing traceable facts, assumptions and evidence.

  • Rapid Case Assessment & quantum range
  • Financial model & quantum review — valuation, damages, earn-outs
  • Second opinions & report critique
  • Governance reconstruction (chronology & decision map)

Counsel · Investors · Boards
01 Counsel

The dispute turns on financial proof.

Disputed quantum, completion accounts, earn-outs, W&I, shareholder disputes, damages or data gaps.

For Counsel
02 Investors

Transaction value or control is at risk.

Working capital, leakage, earn-outs, covenants, post-deal controls or disputed value drivers.

For Investors
03 Boards

A board-critical decision must withstand scrutiny.

Unreliable numbers, liquidity or capital pressure, audit scrutiny or blurred finance/risk accountability.

For Boards
HALD Advisory
Why HALD

HALD establishes the fact base, tests assumptions and documents the reasoning so decisions can be defended under scrutiny.

Boards, their advisers and counterparties are increasingly required to justify decisions to regulators, courts and shareholders.

  • Senior ownership. Every mandate is led by the principal from scope to findings.
  • Regulated-market fluency. Statutory board experience, DNB Fit & Proper credentials and 20+ unqualified audit cycles — attaching to former appointments, not to HALD Advisory.
  • Operator judgement. Finance, risk, capital, liquidity and governance experience applied to the decision at hand.
  • Evidence discipline. Conclusions are tied to the underlying evidence and structured for external challenge.
