Advising Family Law Lawyers and their Clients constitutes a large part of our practise over the past twenty years.
In the context of Family Law the objective of the valuation report is to calculate fair value. Fair value calculations start with the calculation of fair market value and then allow for adjustments in order to obtain an equitable result.
With the right information properly presented, clients and their professional advisors are better equipped to make informed decisions.
Our goal is to prepare reports that are easily understood by judges, lawyers, and their clients. This often leads to negotiations and settlement.
