Partnership Dispute and
We assist in resolving complex partnership and shareholder disputes by providing objective financial analysis and expert testimony. Our services include valuation of ownership interests, forensic accounting to identify misappropriation or financial misconduct, assessment of economic damages, and evaluation of profit distributions or capital account issues. We also serve as expert witnesses, delivering credible, well-supported opinions in mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings.
MCA’s expertise includes these core services:
Valuation of Ownership Interests
We conduct independent business valuations to determine the fair market value or fair value of ownership interests in a partnership or closely held entity. These valuations are essential in buyouts, dissolution proceedings, or disputes involving alleged dilution or inequitable treatment of partners.
Forensic Accounting and Financial Investigation
Our team performs detailed forensic analyses to uncover financial irregularities, misappropriation of funds, or breaches of fiduciary duty. We trace transactions, review financial records, and reconstruct accounting to provide a clear picture of financial conduct within the partnership.
Economic Damages Assessment
We quantify economic damages arising from breaches of contract, partner misconduct, or exclusion from business operations. This includes lost profits analysis, unjust enrichment claims, and assessment of harm related to changes in profit-sharing or ownership terms.
Capital Account and Profit Distribution Analysis
We analyze the partnership’s accounting for capital contributions, distributions, and allocations to determine whether they were consistent with governing agreements and industry standards. Our reviews often reveal discrepancies or inequities that are central to dispute resolution.
Expert Testimony and Litigation Support
We serve as expert witnesses in mediation, arbitration, and court proceedings, offering independent, fact-based opinions supported by rigorous analysis. Our experts communicate complex financial matters clearly and credibly, strengthening the legal position of our clients.

Litigation—Post-Transaction Dispute in M&A Process
Automatic Fire Sprinkler Installation Firm
MCA was retained by a business brokerage firm that had been hired by the owners of a fire and sprinkler company to sell the business. The broker was sued by the buyer in a post-transaction dispute regarding standard of care (duties and responsibilities of the seller’s broker to the buyer). MCA analyzed the relevant documents and accounting records, and interviewed the business owners to assess the merits of the buyer’s alleged claims. MCA prepared an expert report and provided expert testimony in the Superior Court of the state of Arizona. The court ruled in favor of MCA’s client which was supported by MCA’s independent and objective findings.
