About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will explore advanced business valuation issues in matrimonial cases. The faculty will discuss how to evaluate expert reports, identify weaknesses in valuation assumptions and methodologies, and work more effectively with valuation and forensic accounting experts in family law contexts.


Description

Business valuations can catalyze settlement, advance or weaken the clients' support position, and determine trial outcomes in high-asset divorce or other family law matters. Counsel must understand how experts value income-producing assets, including closely held businesses or professional practices. Effective representation requires that counsel be able to assess the valuation choices that impact marital property division and that underlie any income analysis, goodwill, discounts, or double-counting arguments.

Listen as our authoritative faculty examines advanced business valuation issues in matrimonial practice, including standards of value, valuation approaches, financial statement adjustments, goodwill, discounts, income and support overlap, discovery, and expert testimony strategy.
