Cohen Hamilton Steger & Co. Inc.

Cohen Hamilton Steger & Co. Inc. is a leading Canadian boutique specializing in damages quantification, business valuation and forensic accounting. Our founding principals – Farley Cohen, Ross Hamilton and Peter Steger – are all former practice leaders of major international consultancies who each have over 25 years experience in their fields. They and fellow principals Paula Frederick, Prem Lobo and Greg McEvoy are recognized among Canada's top expert witnesses, not just by the courts and major corporations but also in peer-reviewed guides. We have assembled an experienced team of specialists that brings a thoughtful and collaborative approach to analyzing the key drivers of any financial dispute. We are as proud of our independence and our objectivity as our expertise. We do not perform financial statement audits, tax or operations-consulting work, which ensures we are truly neutral. We are regularly retained by both plaintiff and defence counsel as well as corporations and are also free to perform as expert witnesses for the court. We regularly provide services to the legal, government and corporate communities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Caribbean involving a wide range of businesses, industries and issues. The majority of our clients are litigators, corporate lawyers and in-house counsel, but whether the call comes from a law firm, a C-suite executive or a government department it is because of our reputation for hands-on personal involvement, expertise and efficiency. For many years, clients have retained us on some of Canada's largest financial disputes and investigations. We have the experience and mobility to handle the most complex and critical assignments facing clients. We provide cost-effective and disciplined assessments on a wide range of financial issues, industries and amounts in dispute, but one thing never changes -- when you hire experience, you get experience. Because value is getting who you pay for.
