None of Your Business: Business Valuation Challenges in Family Law

Complimentary In-House CLE Program with ADR Services, Inc.

August 27 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PDT

1 hour General CLE Credit

Description:

Valuing a business in divorce is rarely straightforward—and the stakes are high. This program brings together the perspectives of a seasoned valuation expert and two retired judges—now respected mediators and private judges—to unpack the legal, practical, and strategic complexities of business valuation in family law.

Valuation expert Jennifer Magnes will provide an overview of the 3 valuation approaches, the cost / asset-based approach, market approach, and the income approach, and explain how to select the best method within the approaches based on the nature of the business. Judges Pulido and Landau will offer practical insights drawn from the bench and the settlement table, exploring how courts assess goodwill, determine valuation dates, and guard against double-counting in property division and support.

 Topics include:

  •  Parsing personal service from community goodwill
  • Strategic use of experts: when, why, and how
  • Pitfalls in valuation: partner privacy, income manipulation, and timing
  • Real-world examples from dry cleaners to law firms
  • Navigating Van Camp/Pereira and §4320 factors

 Whether you’re litigating or mediating, this session will equip you with tools to tackle valuation disputes with clarity and confidence.
