M&A Disputes
Addressing working capital, earnout, purchase price adjustment, representations and warranties, and other issues arising from transactions.
At Green Flash Forensic Accounting, we assist buyers, sellers, and their counsel with financial and accounting disputes arising from mergers and acquisitions. These matters often involve the review and assessment of purchase agreement provisions, accounting principles, transaction-specific definitions, and the financial information underlying the transaction.
We recognize that post-closing disputes require a detailed understanding of both the transaction and the specific accounting or financial issues in dispute. Our work may include analyzing purchase agreements and supporting financial records, evaluating closing calculations and accounting treatments, preparing or reviewing financial analyses and submissions, and assisting clients throughout the dispute resolution process.
