Business Valuation Advisory
We specialize in complex valuation assignments that involve technology-driven businesses or situations in which the business is in an early or transitional stage and the value may be difficult to ascertain. Our experts bring strong educational and professional training to each engagement, in addition to our deep experience in valuations, strategic consulting, and disputed matters.
We are experts in the valuation of businesses and equity interests. Independent and objective valuation analysis requires experience, professional judgment, and careful consideration of the factors that influence value. We tailor our analyses to each client’s specific needs, and we do not reach.
We provide valuations for a variety of contexts and purposes, including strategic planning, corporate transactions, and shareholder buyouts. We are also frequently retained to provide fairness opinions for both sellers and buyers. Additionally, we have been retained in bankruptcies to evaluate pre- and post-petition collateral and the allocation of assets among operating companies.
Our valuation experts have credentials from the American Society of Appraisers, CFA Institute, and AICPA and are highly skilled at testifying to complex financial and valuation opinions in courts and at arbitration.
