Halligan & Co

Halligan & Co is a practice that does business valuation and forensic accounting and nothing else. Brendan Halligan set it up in 2004 after a career as a partner at Arthur Andersen and at Ernst & Young. Because it does not sell audit, tax or consulting, it says it avoids the conflicts that hold back larger firms.

• Expert witness work: reports and evidence for legal proceedings.
