David Muggridge

I am a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, a member of the Academy of Experts and a member and director of the Network of Independent Forensic Accountants.

I have provided litigation support services to the legal profession as a party appointed expert witness, SJE and expert adviser in London and the South East for approximately 20 years on accountancy, financial and tax related issues. I have acted as adviser and SJE in mediation and other ADR matters.

In the matrimonial arena, I regularly assist firms by providing informal advice on valuation and tax issues and, where matters proceed on a more formal basis, to act as shadow expert assisting with the drafting of letters of instruction, reviewing SJE reports, drafting questions for experts and answering questions for counsel.

I also provide training seminars and workshops to law firms and Chambers.

I have prepared reports on a wide range of matters including:

• Company/business valuation in commercial and matrimonial actions;
• Tax issues arising from matrimonial disputes, including transfer and outright disposal of matrimonial assets;
• Commercial, shareholder and partnership disputes, including minority actions;
• Business interruption and loss of profits claims;
• Loss of earnings & fatal accident claims;
• Professional negligence;
• Tax, VAT and commercial fraud;
• Confiscation orders, excise duty proceedings and other POCA related proceedings.

I head a full service accountancy and tax advisory practice, acting for a wide range of business, charity and private clients, encompassing a variety of business sizes, types and sectors. I have acted as statutory auditor to a number of companies and charities, provides specialist tax advice and prepares reports under the Solicitors Accounts and National Association of Estate Agents Rules. I have found that my experience as a practising accountant and auditor is invaluable to my expert witness work.

Court Attendances
I have given oral evidence in the County, Family, Magistrates, Crown and High Courts and have attended as expert in these Courts to assist Counsel.
