Job description

Manager, Forensic Accounting (Disputes | Investigations | Valuations)

About The Team

At Quantuma, our forensic accounting & investigations team has grown significantly in recent years. Quantuma is part of K3 Advisory Group, one of the most ambitious and fastest growing advisory firms in the UK. Work is received from a wide range of law firms in the UK and overseas, with few conflicts of interest experienced by the firm. The Managing Directors are instructed in some of the highest profile litigation and arbitration matters in the UK. They have significant witness box experience. However, unlike many teams, we also undertake smaller assignments, allowing team members exposure to a wide range of work. The primary areas of work for the Forensic Team are expert witness and advisory services in disputes (eg shareholder disputes, M&A related disputes, breach of contract, negligence claims etc). In addition to commercial disputes, the Forensic Team undertakes work in personal injury and medical negligence, matrimonial, compulsory purchase, fraud, and criminal matters. They work with colleagues in insolvency and corporate finance, assisting with valuations and disputes where appropriate. In the next few months, Quantuma will merge with fellow K3 Advisory Group company, KR8 Advisory, to create one of the UK’s leading advisory firms with over 300 employees across 11 offices, providing Restructuring & Insolvency, Real Estate Advisory, Forensic Accounting, Valuations and eDiscovery services to the UK market.
