The business valuation report prepared by Ruth Dooley as a single joint expert was clear and easy to understand. Her responses to queries raised were robust where required but not rigid where additional information was presented. As a result of that report, the parties were able to reach a sensible agreement without the need to go to a final hearing saving significant cost.
I instructed Ruth Dooley to act as a single joint expert in a complex and high net worth financial remedy case, where she was instructed to value multiple businesses and provide tax calculations. Ruth was quick to respond to queries, thorough in her preparation and easy to work with. She was comfortable giving evidence at Final Hearing and I would thoroughly recommend her.
We instructed Ruth to advise and act as an expert witness in connection with a professional negligence claim against an accountant. She produced an excellent report and went above and beyond to do so within a tight deadline. Ruth had a total grasp of all the issues in the claim and was able to explain the technical aspects of her report clearly both orally and in writing. Although the claim settled before trial, we would have been entirely confident about Ruth’s ability to defend her opinions at trial. Ruth and her advice were a wonderful fixed point of certainty in a claim that was otherwise full of uncertain and moving parts. I would gladly work with Ruth again.
Ruth produced a valuation report as a single joint expert for court. The report was excellent – it was clear, thorough and went through everything in a way that was methodical. The report was valuing a complex mix of property companies and operating companies of high value.
