About Hugh

Hugh is the Partner responsible for Nexia Edwards Marshall’s Forensic Accounting division.

Hugh is best known for his work as an independent accounting expert, particularly relating to economic loss and business valuation, with extensive experience in family law business valuation and investigation.

Hugh is a long-standing contributor to the Australian accounting profession through his involvement in the activities of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and CPA Australia, and the legal profession through his membership of the Law Society of South Australia, Family Law Committee.

Experience

Some of Hugh’s greatest successes have arisen in matters in which disputes have been able to be resolved, rather than the parties becoming embroiled in ongoing expensive and protracted litigation.
Hugh considers that meeting with the parties, particularly in matrimonial property valuations, can lead to greater understanding and fair recognition of the value of property in respect of which the parties have an interest.
