A practical valuation answer

For court or dispute purposes, the valuation method has to match the legal issue, the valuation date, and the evidence available. The conclusion is only as strong as the support behind the assumptions, calculations, and source documents.

For this type of engagement, the analysis usually focuses on the legal issue driving the valuation, the ownership rights at stake, and clean support for assumptions and adjustments. That is how the answer moves from a generic opinion to a defensible valuation conclusion that fits the facts.

Why this matters: Dispute valuations should be tailored to the legal question, not just the business in the abstract.
