We have helped clients value and divide a wide range of business assets, including:

• Law firm partnerships
• Retail enterprises
• Service businesses
• Medical practices
• Investment banker partnerships
• Manufacturers

To effect a proper business valuation, we will consult with actuarial experts and others to ascertain the fair market value of the business, including receivables, machinery, inventory, real estate, and enterprise and goodwill. We use only top-notch and seasoned business valuation experts.

If you owned the business prior to the marriage, we will determine if the business is a marital asset and, if so, how much of the asset your spouse is entitled to receive.

We will explore a variety of ways to achieve a fair division of the business that will meet your goals, from selling the business to preparing an annuitized settlement agreement which would allow your spouse to be paid over a number of years, to giving your spouse an on-going interest in the firm.

Our lawyers are thorough and meticulous in our work on behalf of our clients. You can rely on our firm for knowledgeable and effective representation in matters of divorce and business valuation.
