Business Valuation Expert Witness Services

Valuation litigation is a specialty within a specialty: the expert must understand appraisal practice, accounting, corporate finance, and the legal standard governing the valuation question. Weak valuation testimony often fails on normalization and standard-of-value alignment - not on arithmetic alone.

Shareholder and partnership valuation fights

Shareholder disputes frequently involve fair value vs fair market value frameworks, oppression remedies, and buyout timing. Experts must align methods with the governing statute and the company’s capital structure.

Partnership disputes may involve ambiguous buyout clauses and disputed goodwill treatment.

Divorce valuations and double-counting risks

Divorce matters may require enterprise value, personal goodwill issues (where applicable), and careful coordination with support and equitable distribution theories.

Experts should watch for double counting between asset values and income streams.

M&A disagreements and earnout disputes

Post-closing disputes often involve earnout accounting, EBITDA definitions, and working capital true-ups. Valuation experts translate contract definitions into reconciled calculations tied to GL detail.

Trial exhibits often compare “contract EBITDA” to “reported EBITDA” line by line.
