Valuation disputes often sit at the centre of shareholder, commercial and family law proceedings. In these matters, parties need independent, well‑reasoned valuations that can withstand scrutiny and support informed decision‑making.
We deliver independent, defensible, contentious valuations of businesses, shares and assets for use in litigation, matrimonial matters and shareholder disputes.
Our forensic valuation specialists assess market conditions, industry dynamics, risk factors and business performance drivers to form a clear view of value. We work closely with legal advisers and other stakeholders to understand the context of the dispute and the relevant legal framework, tailoring our analysis to the specific issues in contention.
Valuation disputes frequently involve incomplete information, conflicting assumptions or competing opinions. We help parties navigate these complexities by clearly articulating assumptions, explaining the basis for our conclusions and identifying the key factors that drive differences in value. Common issues include maintainable earnings, normalisation adjustments, minority discounts, control premiums, and discount rate assumptions.
Our valuation work supports negotiation, mediation, arbitration and court proceedings, and can include the preparation of expert reports and assistance with expert evidence. Through clear, objective and defensible analysis, we help parties address valuation issues at the centre of contentious matters with confidence.
