Valuation of Business Interests in Divorce - A Toolkit for Family Lawyers

Introduction

Understanding when and how to value a business is a core skill for financial remedy practitioners in order to ensure that they are seeking the right expert evidence at the right time. Likewise, knowing how to understand, analyse and challenge expert reports, once received, is critical.

This webinar will provide a toolkit for practitioners in low, medium and high net worth cases to augment their practice in this area.

There will be a focused section on the impact on the developments relating to the valuation of businesses as a result of the exit of the UK from the EU.

• When is an expert needed and what is the expert being asked to do?
