Real Estate Litigation Support: Forensic Accounting

  

NAV's multidisciplinary expertise extends across leading real estate law firms. We have advised in a wide range of construction and real property cases.

In addition, we are recognized state fiduciaries in both accounting and valuation. For example, NAV experts are fiduciaries in both accounting and valuation within eight counties in New York State. Accordingly, we are already vetted by the legal system, and this legal acceptance may serve to satisfy the need for an expert in cases seeking mediation or an expeditious settlement. 

We advise and assist attorneys in real estate litigation cases by providing a full spectrum of economic, forensic accounting, and valuation services. In additional, we take price in solving disputes with an egoless and tireless work ethic.

In the end, our ability to communicate effectively, both in and out of the courtroom, is a leading driver of our cross-functional value proposition for real estate litigation support.

 

How We Assist Clients

 

Sample forensic accounting services for real estate and construction disputes entail:

 

  • Analysis of business interruption claims due to delays in construction
  • Analysis of preliminary valuation results and expert report delivery
  • Arm's-length salary benchmarking analysis to derive workforce lost earnings
  • Critique and rebuttal of competing expert reports
  • Construction accounting re-construction
  • Deposition testimony
  • Detailed written reports or summary rebuttal reports
  • Financial modelling of key variables
  • Forensic statistical modelling
  • Forensic accounting procedures such as tracing, vouching, and record reconstruction
  • Negotiation assistance
  • Valuation of real property, construction-in-progress, and holding company business interests

In addition, forensic accounting procedures encompass e-Discovery. We advise clients in all stages of in-court and out-of-court procedure, and we take pride in our effective and concise communication.

How We Are Transparent

 

We perform our services on a flat-fee or hourly basis with leading attorneys, alternative investment funds, CFOs, CPAs, and other C-suite corporate executives. We strongly feel engagement scope and fee ranges should be communicated effectively and efficiently.

We accordingly serve clients in stages, and we encourage clients to take a methodical, calculated approach to deciding which professional offerings are necessary or optional. 

Our first service stage is dubbed the NAV Situation Scan (TM). The Situation Scan helps both our clients and our teams diagnose the services necessary for fulfilment of client objectives. We then communicate the results of the Situation Scan to derive a suggested road-map. The NAV team next proposes a time frame for delivery of service milestones. We are inherently flexible, and our Situation Scans outline a proposed plan of action and not a mandatory obligation. We have found clients cherish this "ramp-up or ramp-down" flexibility that can be implemented at any time.
