Business Valuations Expert Witnesses

Business valuations are done for a variety of purposes such as appraising a potential business deal or determining economic damages in a civil litigation in which loss of business value is claimed and even litigation involving taxes or splitting assets in a divorce. Practitioners often have credentials from an organization like AICPA, NACVA, ASA, or IBA and/or have an MBA or PhD in Economics or Finance. However, credentials alone are not sufficient when hiring such an expert. Experience in both developing an opinion and testifying using appropriate and accepted methods of analysis are key factors as is use of reliable and available data on which to build a valuation assessment.
