Marital Dissolution Valuation
When a business or ownership interest is part of the marital estate, both sides need a value they can rely on. We prepare independent, well documented valuations for family law attorneys and their clients, addressing the issues that matter most in a divorce, from goodwill to normalized owner compensation.
How we help
Independent and objective
Analysis focused on a supportable value, not on reaching a number that favors one side.
Goodwill addressed directly
A clear separation of enterprise and personal goodwill, which often determines how much of the business is marital property.
Explained in plain terms
Findings that attorneys, mediators, and clients can follow, which helps keep settlement discussions focused on the facts.
What we provide
Business valuation for equitable distribution
Valuation of closely held businesses, partnership interests, and minority ownership interests as of the applicable valuation date.
Enterprise and personal goodwill analysis
Separation of goodwill attributable to the business from goodwill attributable to an individual owner, which is often central to the marital value.
Professional practice valuation
Valuation of medical, dental, legal, accounting, and other professional practices.
Owner income and compensation analysis
Normalization of owner compensation, perquisites, and discretionary expenses to show the economic income the business generates.
Review of an existing valuation
Independent review of a valuation prepared by another firm to assess methodology, assumptions, and conclusions.
