Where divorce or separation proceedings involve a private company or shareholding, an independent business valuation is often essential to achieving a fair financial settlement. We work regularly with solicitors and family lawyers across the UK, providing valuation reports that are clear, evidence-based and structured for use in financial remedy proceedings.
We can be instructed as a Single Joint Expert under Part 25 of the Family Procedure Rules, or as a party-appointed expert. In either case, our opinion is independent, impartial and fully supported by documented financial analysis.
