Litigation & Business Valuation
Shareholder disputes are potentially chaotic affairs due to the sometimes personal nature of the dispute, coupled with inherent difficulties in setting value. This is of particular concern to privately held businesses. Unlike public companies where the value of a stock is determined by the market, with private businesses there is usually no active market to sell or trade an interest. Viewing each dispute as unique, Berdon brings calm, reason, and direction to the process of ascertaining or approximating the market value of a business. Among the many factors we consider are:
profitability trends
industry trends
management depth
imbedded intangible assets
intellectual property
the value of intangible assets such as goodwill
the fair market value of physical assets
control features associated with the interest
the marketability of the interest
We strive to reconcile all supporting information with real world data. You can tap into our valuation expertise in matters that include:
