THE DEBRESSER WINTRIP COMMITMENT

RESPECTED AND TRUSTED BY THE LEGAL COMMUNITY, BUSINESS OWNERS AND GOVERNMENT

A wise man once said: “You can settle 90% of all financial disputes in an afternoon, if you have two good legal advisors, two good financial experts and two reasonable clients.” We promise to do our part as the financial experts. Our priority is resolution outside of the Courtroom, but when this is not possible, we will express a neutral and independent opinion when we are instructed to do so, clearly and concisely, and stand behind it.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“Thank you so much for all of your time and effort to support my case. I know you went above and beyond and I truly appreciate it. As I’ve said before, this situation took a major toll on me and so I’m grateful to all of you for educating me and arming me with the resources I needed to make good decisions and come to a fair resolution.”

“I just wanted to extend my deepest appreciation for all that you and your team did for us during this whole sale process. It was great having you in our corner. Your guidance was exceptional. Very well done.”

“Your report was instrumental in obtaining this decision and I want to thank you very much for your assistance.”

“I wanted to let each of you know that your attendance was very helpful, and to thank you for your contribution to the process. I am not sure we could have settled without your input.”

“Many thanks for all your work and expertise. I’m on my way to the next chapter of my life.”

“I was impressed with the evidence of Mr. DeBresser for the plaintiff. I found him to be very precise and very convincing. He avoided the opportunity to exaggerate or to take his client’s position further than his views permitted.”

“We also have to remember that Mr. DeBresser in his analysis discovered the fraudulent transfers that took place in the years prior to separation; were it not for him, that issue may have remained undiscovered.”

“It was after the wife presented her evidence at trial – after Mr. DeBresser testified – that the parties resolved the issues between them, and they did so on terms very close to those suggested by Mr. DeBresser.”

“Mr. DeBresser is a forensic accountant; being of that class, he is a thorough man and he provided [the Husband] with a list of some 348 items of disclosure that he required to properly value the business.”

“DeBresser testified that the appellant refused to answer questions during his examination for discovery regarding the Competition Act charges, which forced DeBresser to consider the range of possible outcomes. In his opinion, the litigation risk weighed down the multiple at the date of marriage and conversely the absence of risk elevated the multiple at the valuation date. The appellant testified at trial that as at the date of marriage a settlement of the charges had been reached. The trial judge rejected the appellant’s evidence that the litigation was settled at the date of the marriage and accepted DeBresser’s evidence.”
