Introduction to Business Valuation for Matrimonial Lawyers

The marketplace is filled with valuation books written by appraisers for appraisers. But what about valuation books written for attorneys?

Introduction to Business Valuation for Matrimonial Lawyers is an introduction to business valuation for attorneys practicing in family law who are looking for a resource they can refer to that provides an introductory understanding of valuation so that they can help their clients maximize the greatest economic value of a company or interest.



While attorneys are certainly competent enough to read the seminal valuation texts, it comes with a cost. The authors of these valuation tomes have likely been providing valuation services for multiple decades. They speak of complex valuation matters the way everyone else discusses their favorite tv show or college football team, making reading the valuation treatise like reading something in a second language.

Introduction to Business Valuation for Matrimonial Lawyers is the reference text needed to benefit family law attorneys at all stages of their practice, written in a language they understand.

Chapters contain insights on topics, including the three approaches to valuing a business, definitions of pertinent terms like required adjustments and considerations, different methods within the approaches that result in values, common reasons for differences in value, and more. And because no valuation text would be complete without discussing discounts for lack of control and marketability, the book includes an introduction to discounts and the various tools available for the appraiser to determine appropriate discounts.
