Common litigation settings
Valuation issues arise in shareholder disputes, divorce, estate and trust litigation, buyouts, dissolution matters, and damages disputes involving business value.
Each setting imposes different legal standards of value and different evidentiary constraints; the valuation narrative must align with the governing framework.
Valuation methods
Common approaches include income, market, and asset-based methods. The right method depends on the business, available records, standard of value, and legal context.
Litigation valuation frequently disputes normalization adjustments, owner compensation, discounts for lack of marketability and control, and the reliability of projections.
Disputed assumptions
Litigation valuation may involve normalization adjustments, owner compensation, discounts, premiums, valuation dates, projections, and critique of opposing expert assumptions.
A strong valuation expert can explain not only what was chosen, but what alternatives were considered and why they were less consistent with the record.
