Megan Hanlon is a Senior Forensic and Valuation Associate at MSG, where she conducts forensic accounting investigations and business valuation engagements for complex financial disputes. Her day-to-day work centers on the detailed analytical tasks that drive litigation outcomes: reconstructing financial records from incomplete or fragmented source documents, tracing assets through layered transactions, identifying irregularities in corporate financial data, and reviewing financial statements to determine their compliance with professional standards.
Megan’s particular strength is record reconstruction. When financial documentation is disorganized, missing, or deliberately obscured, she reconstructs reliable financial timelines that enable attorneys to understand what happened and when. Her asset-tracing work involves mapping transactional flows across bank accounts and business entities, isolating patterns that suggest concealment or diversion of funds. She also contributes to the firm’s business valuation practice, applying the analytical rigor of her auditing training to closely held company valuations in shareholder disputes, matrimonial actions, and commercial damages cases.
Before joining MSG, Megan worked as an audit associate at a Top Ten global accounting firm, where she focused on state and local government engagements. That public-sector audit experience gave her a disciplined approach to working within regulatory frameworks and navigating the reporting complexities of large organizations. At MSG, she applies that same discipline to forensic engagements where precision and thoroughness in financial analysis are what separate useful expert work from work that falls apart under opposing counsel’s scrutiny.
