Litigation Support
Equitable
Distribution
When a closely held business is an asset subject to equitable
distribution in divorce, there are two qualities that the client and his or her
attorney require:
credibility and
timeliness.
|
► |
Credibility comes
from having the financial experience to properly evaluate the risk and growth
prospects of a business and arrive at a reasonable conclusion of value.
It also comes from having the ability to
testify to that conclusion in front of a judge or jury in a clear and concise
manner. |
|
► |
Timeliness is the
ability to work within a sometimes awkward time constraint imposed by court
deadlines. Few courts are
sympathetic to unprepared experts.
The valuation report may be completely accurate but will not be worth much if it
doesn’t make it into evidence. |
