Business Valuation

Experienced Lawyer for Divorce and Business Valuation

If a divorcing couple owns a family business, the business will be divided equitably. The court will determine the equitable distribution based on several factors. There may be disputes over the value of the business. Often the spouse who does not work as closely with daily operation will believe its value is much greater than the operating spouse. Further complicating matters is the fact that recordkeeping may be less stringent than with a public company, making elements of valuation that would be straightforward in a public company convoluted at best.

For this reason, it is very important to select a divorce attorney who has experience in division of assets and has built relationships with trusted professionals in the financial and business fields. In Oregon, that attorney is Suzanne J. Noland. Contact us to discuss how she can protect your business interests.
