Regulatory compliance – providing valuations under the Companies Act and fairness opinions. Financial reporting – purchase price allocations involving the valuation of both tangible and intangible assets and the valuation of share options. Taxation – assisting clients with valuation advice for tax purposes, using our long experience of handling negotiations with the national revenue authorities. Dispute resolution and expert determination – providing independent expert determinations of value to resolve disputes and acting as an expert witness for litigation purposes.
