Hello

Welcome to the twelfth issue of Valuation and Litigation Insights! My goal is to bring you hand-picked content related to business valuation and litigation that will make your life easier and help your clients get the results they deserve.

I hope you enjoyed the recent Labor Day weekend, traditionally the unofficial end of summer. Before you know it the holidays will be here. So let's make the next few months super-productive.

On to this issue. We start by looking at recent business divorce decisions from around the country.

Next, we look at the phenomenon of "anchoring." Often a negotiated value will be driven by the starting point, or "anchor." This podcast provides how to deal with an "anchor" set by another party and how to position the narrative, or set your own anchor, to the benefit of your client.

Computing damages for an early-stage business was once ruled out by the courts as speculative. But in today's world, where pre-revenue companies command high valuations, that is no longer the case. This article lists things to be aware of when reviewing damages for a start-up.

Measuring valuation damages in a shareholder dispute is always tricky, but especially so when considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article discusses a couple inputs -- valuation date and the financial forecast -- that are particularly crucial during a period of uncertainty.

Finally, we review 10 problems commonly found in a business valuation report. It's a handy list if you are trying to understand, defend, or scrutinize a valuation.

Hope you enjoy this issue and find it useful!
