Read MoreOur experts combine financial expertise with industry and market knowledge to value businesses and related assets.
We perform business and intangible asset valuations and provide expert witness testimony for a variety of different purposes including, shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, marital dissolution, bankruptcy and restructuring, solvency determinations, financial reporting, mergers and acquisitions, IRC 409A, Employee Share Ownership Plans, Phantom Stock Plans and gift and estate tax reporting.
In corporate transactions, financial reporting, bankruptcy, commercial litigation, tax planning and reporting, marital dissolution, IRC409A or Employee Share Ownership and Phantom Stock Plans, the value of a business or ownership interest frequently comes into question, and it often requires an independent, defensible third-party opinion of value.
Proper valuation requires not only a thorough analysis of the business in question, but also the industry and economy in which the business operates. Frequent issues include financial ratios and trends, company risk and growth profile, cost of capital, capital structure, normalization of revenue and expenses, review of related-party transactions, normalization of owner compensation, product mix, customer and supplier concentrations, competition, barriers to entry, management depth, access to capital, future growth prospects, profitability, industry benchmarking and the application and quantification of relevant valuation discounts.
Our team provides business valuation and litigation support services for clients - and their law firms and accounting firms - ranging from small, privately held businesses and professional practices to large, publicly traded companies.
