Utilising Intangible Asset Valuations as a Tool in Legal Disputes
Intangible assets touch on virtually every aspect of business (and therefore legal disputes). Yet their relative absence of from financial reports means most advisors are unfamiliar with Intangible Asset assessment & valuation techniques.
While the valuation of tangible assets can be relatively straightforward, the process can be more complex in circumstances where intangible assets are involved. This can lead to circumstances where these assets are significantly undervalued (or overvalued, in some instances) relative to their true value, including legal issues such as:
- Whether a company was insolvent when trading
- Disputes with tax authorities
- Warranty claims by purchasers that assets were not as warranted or valued correctly
- Disputes over the value of shares or exercising of stock options
- Insurance disputes
Tyler Capson will share insights, case studies and practical advice on how intangible asset valuations can be used as a tool to help depict what has happened, adjudicate any dispute, and assist in structuring a settlement.
