Advanced Business Valuation and Damages in Commercial Litigation
Evaluating Opposing Experts, Lost Profits and Damages Methodologies, Report Admissibility
Welcome to BARBRI, the trusted global leader in legal education. Continue to access the same expert-led Strafford CLE and CPE webinars you know and value. Plus, explore professional skills courses and more.
About the Course
Introduction
This webinar will provide experienced commercial counsel with the technical grounding to critically evaluate opposing expert reports, identify weaknesses in damages methodologies, and work more effectively with their own valuation and damages experts from discovery through trial.
Description
In many commercial disputes, valuation and damages analyses inform case strategy, settlement opportunities, and trial outcomes. Counsel must understand expert assumptions, methodologies, and conclusions to determine if they are financially well-founded. Inexperienced attorneys may miss weaknesses in an opposing analysis or chances to buttress their case.
Listen as the expert examines how businesses and assets are valued in the context of commercial litigation, how damages and lost profits are calculated under different legal standards, and how financial experts build and attack these analyses across a range of dispute types, including breach of contract, business interruption, fraud, and shareholder disputes.
Presented By
Mr. Gottlieb is the Director of Forensic and Litigation Support Services at MSG, where he oversees forensic accounting investigations, business valuations, and economic damages analyses in complex commercial and matrimonial disputes. Mr. Gottlieb brings an unusual combination of credentials to this work: he is both a licensed attorney and a certified public accountant, which gives him a fluency in both the financial analysis and the litigation process that most forensic consultants simply do not have. Mr. Gottlieb's work covers the full scope of the firm’s litigation support practice. He conducts and supervises business valuations of closely held companies, prepares economic damages calculations in commercial disputes, and leads forensic investigations involving allegations of fraud, asset dissipation, and financial misreporting. Mr. Gottlieb also plays a central role in expert report preparation, deposition and trial support, and the development of rebuttal analyses targeting opposing experts’ methodologies and conclusions. He has provided expert testimony and lectures regularly on financial and tax matters in divorce litigation, presenting to organizations including the American Bar Association, BARBRI, the Suffolk County Bar Association, and Strafford Webinars.
