Focused Areas of Service
Business Disputes
When business partners or shareholders disagree, an objective valuation is essential to reach a fair resolution. We provide independent, defensible valuations that clarify financial realities and support equitable outcomes. Whether the issue involves ownership interests, buy-sell provisions, or breach of fiduciary duty, our analysis brings clarity and credibility to complex disputes.
Marital Dissolution
Divorce proceedings involve many complex decisions, but few are as financially significant as valuing and dividing a business owned by one or both spouses. Often the largest and most contested asset in the marital estate, the business requires an objective, defensible valuation to ensure equitable outcomes. We work closely with family law attorneys and clients to uncover the true economic value of the business—including income, cash flow, and personal goodwill—and deliver valuations that stand up in mediation or court to support informed decision-making.
Economic Loss
We quantify financial damages resulting from business interruption and contract disputes. Our analyses translate complex financial data into clear, defensible conclusions about lost profits, earnings, or business value. We provide objective, expert testimony and reports that help courts and counsel understand the full economic impact of a loss.
