How our expert witness valuation services support fair settlements

Below you can find examples of how our valuations experts can help support fair settlements:

Matrimonial proceedings

If you’re currently going through a separation, the value of any business assets owned by either party can significantly impact the financial settlement. We assess the value of the business and provide insight into its income-generating potential, capital accessibility and any associated tax implications.

Commercial disputes

From shareholder disagreements to partnership breakdowns, our expert valuations team support negotiations and legal arguments.

Arbitration and mediation

We regularly support non-court processes, working collaboratively with legal teams to reach timely, cost-effective settlements.

We also provide related services including accounts integrity reviews, where the accuracy or existence of financial information is in question.

FAQs

To help provide further information about the expert witness valuations services we provide, we have put together a list of frequently asked questions. Below you can explore some of the common questions we receive and helpful answers from our experts.

A valuation witness provides an independent, professional opinion on the value of a business, shares or other assets in a dispute. They prepare clear, well reasoned valuation reports and, if required, give evidence in court, arbitration or mediation. The expert’s duty is to the court even if they are appointed by one party.

Get a valuation expert involved as early as possible in a dispute, especially in complex divorce, shareholder disputes or partnership breakdowns. Early involvement ensures accurate, reliable valuations are available for negotiation or legal argument and reduces the risk of delay or challenge later on.

Valuations for court or mediation must be objective, well documented and prepared in accordance with professional standards such as ICAEW and The Academy of Experts. At Kreston Reeves we ensure our reports are legally compliant, clear and supported by recognised valuation methodologies, so they are fit for purpose for court, mediation or arbitration.
