Most family lawyers will be familiar with how complex the valuation of a disputed business interest can be in divorce proceedings.

This is particularly the case where there is a disparity between the respective spouses’ knowledge and understanding of the financial issues at stake. Navigating this sensitive area requires accurate and transparent valuations that can be relied on in court.

It’s also important to work with a forensic accountant who understands pressures and deadlines – whether set by the court or the client’s circumstances – and is available when needed to answer any queries.
