Forvis Mazars in Australia launches Disputes and Investigations division

7 May 2026: Forvis Mazars, a leading international partnership specialising in audit, tax and advisory, today announces the launch of its Disputes and Investigations division locally based in Australia, further strengthening its commitment to supporting businesses in navigating complex challenges with confidence.

With this expansion, Forvis Mazars Australia reinforces its reputation as a trusted adviser, dedicated to delivering practical, responsive and expert support to clients throughout the full lifecycle of their business and personal affairs with local knowledge and global perspective.

Matthew Ashley, Managing Partner - Sydney, commented: “For many years, we have supported our clients with disputes and investigations services, drawing on our global expertise and international network. However, in today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to anticipate risks, respond to emerging challenges, and support recovery and resolution efficiently has become even more vital for our clients. With the launch of our locally based Disputes and Investigations division, we are now able to provide businesses with efficient, clear, actionable guidance at every stage, whether that’s preventing issues, addressing them as they arise, or guiding organisations through resolution. Our new Disputes and Investigations division brings together practical, on-the-ground knowledge and international experience, ensuring robust and reliable outcomes tailored precisely to our clients’ needs.”

This expanded division responds to growing demand in the Australian market for comprehensive support in relation to litigation, arbitration, investigations and compliance matters. From proactive risk prevention and mitigation, to in-depth investigations, expert witness testimony and advisory services, Forvis Mazars ensures clients achieve clear and defensible outcomes.

Christopher Cicutto, Partner, added: “A key strength of our approach lies in the close collaboration between our Disputes and Investigations specialists and colleagues across audit, tax, advisory and consulting. This integrated model allows us to deliver solutions that are both comprehensive and precisely aligned to the unique challenges businesses face, ensuring our clients benefit from proactive as well as reactive support.”

Adopting a practical, confidential and bespoke approach, Forvis Mazars Australia minimises business disruption and protects reputations at every stage. Recognising the unpredictable nature of disputes and investigations, the team ensures clients receive tailored, efficient guidance that maintains operational continuity, safeguards discretion, and delivers trusted results for organisations throughout Australia.
