Valuations for business in the Family Law court are very common but are also complex. Often parties feel ignored through the process and then attack the valuation as they don’t understand the value assessed.

After 10 years of marriage, Trish and Bill were getting divorced. During their marriage they had built up a successful retail business which Trish wanted to keep after the divorce. Marsh & Partners was appointed as the Single Expert to prepare the valuation for the business. We began by undertaking a risk assessment on the business with Trish and Bill independently and then got both together to come to agreement on the risks of the business. Once the valuation was finalised, Marsh & Partners appeared in court to explain the valuation to the judge and subsequently determine the value of the asset pool being divided.
