Forensic Accounting Services for Contract Disputes

Arxis Financial’s “Forensic Accounting” practice offers a particular focus on quantifying the financial and economic issues in contract disputes.  Our experience with breach of contract cases includes a wide variety of industries. We have completed analyses of losses arising from disputes such as supplier-purchaser contracts, partnership agreements, leasehold and other commercial real estate agreements, e-commerce transactional disputes, warranty fulfillment, construction contracts, and other breach of contract matters.

Arxis Financial’s professionals are experienced in detailed investigation and analysis that is necessary to uncover essential facts and provide meaningful insights. We can perform an analysis to calculate lost revenues, lost profits, lost opportunities, and unjust enrichment. We also provide assistance in the defense against such claims.  Expert analysis and conclusions are presented in depositions and trial at local, state and federal court levels as well as mediation and arbitration.  We assist attorneys in interpreting the data and help counsel to understand and analyze events or issues as they develop the case and prepare discovery.  Clients are pleased with Arxis Financial’s abilities to clearly, persuasively, and accurately present economic and financial evidence and opinions.
