What we do
We have two areas of focus:
(i) GLOBAL FINANCIAL EXPERT WITNESS to the Law Courts in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and the U.S
(ii) FINANCIAL MARKET STRATEGY
Both sides are self-reinforcing – keeping in touch with investment businesses makes us current in the industry to deliver leading-edge expert evidence to the Courts; and the expert side keeps our technical and analytical skills fresh. This strategy is unique in Asia.
Dr. Richard Harris (Founder and Chief Executive) has been involved as an expert on many high-profile financial cases as an independent financial expert witness. This includes highly complex financial derivative cases; equally detailed calculations of loss quantum; margin trade disputes of significant value; investment suitability; calculation of opportunity cost trading losses; as well as many market misconduct cases. He has worked in jurisdictions all over the Asia-Pacific region and given evidence in Court many times in Hong Kong, Singapore and Hong Kong, and the U.S.
Richard has developed a network of specialist colleagues who are able to assist by providing either a peer review of his work in critical cases, or indeed to operate as experts in their own right where their expertise is more relevant.
