Shareholder Disputes

Business partners enter into business with one another based upon agreements regarding buy-ins, operations, finance, and other relevant matters. When they disagree about these areas, they may litigate and they may part ways. Accusations of fraud are commonplace when shareholders disagree, and it is important to have an experienced expert witness evaluate the claims and the documentation.

Sequence Inc. can assist with damage calculations and other money matters during buyouts or litigation. Specifically, Tracy Coenen's experience as a fraud examiner is useful when conducting financial investigations and fraud examinations.

Experience

Our experience providing services related to shareholder disputes includes involvement in engagements regarding:
  • Misappropriation or theft of company assets
  • Misappropriation of fiduciary duty
  • Dissenting stockholder suits
Our experience on behalf of shareholders also includes securities litigation. We can complete a detailed analysis of the trading within a shareholder's account to determine gains, losses, types of trading, income and expense. The culmination of our work is a damage calculation and expert witness report with supporting documentation.

Services

Our examination will involve analysis of financial documents, deposition testimony, and other relevant documentation to determine the loss or the value of the matter at hand. Often, records need to be reconstructed to determine acutal income, expenses, assets and liabilities. We have experience with doing these types of analyses in a variety of industries.
