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 e.
