In family law matters, business valuations can make or break a settlement. When a valuation is poorly prepared, the consequences are rarely minor.
We frequently see matters delayed due to disputes over valuation methodologies, including:
- Unclear or unsupported assumptions
- Challenges to maintainable earnings
- Inadequate consideration of business specific risk
- Reports that don’t withstand forensic or court scrutiny
The outcome is often confusion, increased costs, and unnecessary stress for clients, along with added complexity and expert disputes for lawyers.
A common issue is valuers adopting a generic or formulaic approach, rather than applying defensible methodologies tailored to the commercial realities and evidentiary standards required in family law matters.
At Executive Business Valuers, we help diffuse confusion by providing independent, courtready business valuation reports that stand up to scrutiny and assist matters to progress toward resolution.
