Litigation Support

Yeo & Yeo provides litigation support for a wide range of legal matters including commercial disputes and breach of contract claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, business divorces and buyout disputes, fraud and financial misconduct cases, divorce proceedings involving business owners or complex financial situations, personal injury and wrongful death economic damages, intellectual property disputes involving lost profits, insurance fraud and fidelity bond claims, employment disputes involving compensation calculations, and government contract disputes. Our team has experience across all of these litigation contexts and is equipped to provide objective, credentialed financial analysis tailored to the specific legal issues at stake.

Yeo & Yeo’s litigation support and expert witness professionals hold advanced credentials in accounting, forensic accounting, and business valuation. Our professionals are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) with specialized training and experience in forensic investigation methodologies, business valuation standards, and legal evidentiary requirements. Many hold additional credentials relevant to litigation support contexts. Our professionals are experienced in testifying in depositions, arbitration hearings, and court proceedings and are fully prepared to defend their methodology, assumptions, and conclusions under cross-examination by opposing counsel.

Yes. Reviewing and rebutting opposing expert analyses is one of the most valuable litigation support services Yeo & Yeo provides. Our professionals review opposing reports with a trained, critical eye — assessing the methodology used, testing the assumptions made, evaluating the data relied upon, and identifying errors, omissions, or unsupported conclusions. We provide attorneys with a detailed, well-documented rebuttal report that clearly identifies the weaknesses in the opposing analysis and explains their significance. This rebuttal analysis can be used to prepare cross-examination questions, challenge the opposing expert in deposition, and present a compelling critique to the trier of fact.

Engaging Yeo & Yeo as early as possible in the litigation process is almost always beneficial. Early engagement allows our professionals to advise on the types of financial documents and records to request in discovery, identify the key financial issues that will need to be addressed, provide preliminary analysis to inform case strategy and settlement evaluation, and begin the formal analysis with adequate time to produce a thorough, defensible work product. Waiting until shortly before trial to engage a financial expert often results in compressed timelines, incomplete discovery of financial records, and a less thorough analysis than would have been possible with earlier involvement. Yeo & Yeo encourages attorneys to reach out as soon as financial issues are identified as material to the case.

Yes. Divorce proceedings involving business owners often require specialized forensic accounting and business valuation expertise that goes well beyond standard financial analysis. Yeo & Yeo provides comprehensive forensic accounting services for these proceedings, including valuing closely held business interests using recognized methodologies, analyzing business income for spousal support and child support calculations, tracing separate versus marital property through complex financial records, uncovering hidden assets or income that may not have been disclosed, and providing credible expert testimony on all financial issues in dispute. Our professionals work closely with family law attorneys to ensure the financial analysis addresses the specific questions at issue in the proceeding and is presented in a manner that is clear and persuasive to the court.
