Valuations
The Corporate Finance Valuations team has wide experience in
valuations of private companies. We serve enterprises of all types
and sizes, covering a wide range of industries.
We believe valuations should not be made as the result of a
mechanical process alone. We use a variety of methodologies and
techniques in deriving a valuation, but we also exploit our
experience and apply our judgement to give our clients the quality
of valuation advice they demand. As each valuation is unique,
valuation work requires a high level of adaptability, flexibility
and innovation, which we pride ourselves on being able to
offer.
We provide advice and solutions in the following areas: we give
commercial advice to companies, partnerships and individuals on
valuations in the context of acquisitions, disposals, mergers and
restructuring proposals across a wide range of industries; for
taxation purposes we undertake and review valuations; in
intellectual property cases we advise on the valuation of items
such as trademarks, brand names, know-how, customer lists, patents
and licences; we offer dispute resolution services and work with
forensic investigators, providing valuation advice within the field
of dispute resolution, litigation support and expert valuations;
and we assist on regulatory and accounting matters, with advice on
valuations required by Accounting Standards, including purchase
price allocation, impairment testing and valuation of financial instruments including share
options and other derivatives, the Companies Act and the
Takeover Act.
