About the Podcast

The volatile economic conditions coupled with ongoing trading performance uncertainty has increased reliance on business valuations in family law property proceedings.

  • The single expert valuation process and rules unpacked
  • Shadow and adversarial experts – is there a difference in the roles?
  • How to effectively ask questions of the valuer
  • What are the hurdles in getting another expert appointed?
  • What are the typical problems with / errors found in valuation reports?
  • When should different scenarios and updates be prepared?
