Court Financial Expert Reports

Commercial disputes in the UAE usually turn on numbers: what was owed, what was paid, what profit was lost or what a shareholding was worth. Courts and arbitral tribunals rely heavily on financial expertise to decide these questions, and the quality of the financial evidence often decides the outcome.

Dawn Consultancy prepares independent financial expert reports and provides accounting support in litigation and arbitration. We help you and your lawyers build the financial case, respond to the other side’s figures and engage effectively with any expert appointed by the court.

Disputes we support

Partnership and shareholder disputes, including profit sharing and capital accounts
Breach of contract and claims for loss of profit
Construction and project disputes over costs, variations and delays
Employment claims involving commissions, bonuses and end-of-service benefits
Business and share valuation disputes
Claims involving misappropriation or unaccounted funds
Disputes over account balances between trading partners

How we support your case

Expert reports. Independent reports quantifying losses, balances or values, prepared to be submitted in proceedings.
Review of the other side’s evidence. Critical analysis of opposing calculations and expert reports.
Court-appointed expert proceedings. Where the court appoints its own expert, we prepare your financial submissions and supporting documents for that expert and attend meetings alongside your advocate.
Settlement support. Realistic quantification to inform negotiation and mediation.

Our approach

Understand the claim. We review the pleadings and issues with your lawyers.

Why independence and clarity matter

An expert report is only useful if the court trusts it. We keep our analysis independent, explain our method, and write for a non-accountant reader. Related services include forensic audit, business valuation and fraud investigation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a court-appointed expert?

In many UAE civil and commercial cases, the court appoints its own expert, often an accountant, to examine the financial issues and report to the court. The parties submit documents and arguments to that expert, and the expert’s report carries significant weight.

How can you help if the court has already appointed an expert?

We prepare your financial submissions, organise the supporting documents and help your advocate present your position clearly to the appointed expert, and we review the expert’s report when it is issued.

Can your report be used in arbitration?

Yes. We prepare expert financial reports for arbitration as well as court proceedings.

How are fees charged?

Fees depend on the scope and volume of records. We agree a scope with you and your lawyers and provide an estimate before starting.
