Arbitration, Litigation and Expert-Witness Valuations — admissible, independent, cross-examination ready

Valuations prepared for disputes face a specific adversarial context — a motivated opposing party, an expert engaged by the other side, a tribunal or bench that will examine every methodological choice. Transique, through its business valuer expert, Chander Sawhney, prepares valuations and expert-witness reports for commercial arbitration (domestic and international seat), corporate-shareholder disputes, oppression-and-mismanagement matters under the Companies Act, family settlement disputes.
Our expert-witness work is executed with the independence and objectivity that the role requires. The report is prepared for the tribunal, not for advocacy — and is the stronger for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an advocacy-valuation and an expert-witness valuation?

Advocacy valuations argue for the client’s position. Expert-witness valuations are owed to the tribunal, not the client — they are opinions of a professional-in-their-field independent from advocacy. Transique, through its Partner Chander Sawhney, undertakes expert-witness mandates in dispute contexts.

Can you act as a rebuttal expert if the opposing side’s expert is well-regarded?

Yes. Most rebuttal engagements involve well-qualified opposing experts. The rebuttal focuses on methodology differences, input-assumption contest, and application of the appropriate standard to the specific facts.

How do you handle confidentiality in disputes that are not yet filed?

Engagement letters are structured to protect privileged work product, with work performed at the direction of counsel where appropriate. We coordinate with counsel from the first call to protect privilege.

Have your reports been relied upon by tribunals?

Yes, including in NCLT matters, domestic arbitrations, and also in proceedings before the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom.
