RECEIVER OR AUDITOR:

In certain business disputes, particularly those involving operating businesses, it may be advisable to employ the services of an independent person to oversee the affairs of the business and to safeguard its assets until the underlying dispute has been resolved. In these matters, we serve as a court appointed receiver (federal or state court) and perform each item listed in the order appointing the receiver and report to the court as directed by the order. This service group is led by James Hart, who has been appointed as a receiver in federal and state courts in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Mr. Hart has also served as a receiver for a publicly traded company with assets in excess of $100 million. A court appointed auditor typically investigates financial records or transactions and issues a report of findings to the court.

FINANCIAL NEUTRAL:

These services combine business, accounting, analytical and business valuation skills to allow for an independent analysis and examination of financial positions taken by the parties involved in a dispute. A financial neutral may be brought in to a dispute to evaluate such items as a business valuation, damages or lost profits analyses, a solvency determination, etc. This role can be particularly useful when combined with a special master, arbitrator or mediator who does not posses a financial background.
