Loss adjuster Cunningham Lindsey has acquired the Australian operations of forensic accounting firm RGL Forensics.

The new business will operate as an independent division of Cunningham Lindsey.

The company says it will “significantly expand” its major loss and forensic accounting capability in Australia and Asia, covering industrial, commercial, casualty and legal claims.

Cunningham Lindsey Australia CEO Harry Patel says his company has worked with RGL Forensics Australia managers and staff on many major losses, “and consider them one of the most talented, robust and technically expert teams in the industry”.

RGL operates locally from offices in Sydney and Perth, with a global presence in the US, Europe and Asia.
