In this edition of Valuation Perspectives, we examine the critical role of credible valuation evidence in litigation. Two headline cases—Gordon Partners v. Blumenthal and AccuWeb v. Foley & Lardner—demonstrate how courts respond when parties fail to present well-supported damages analysis. Additional case studies explore key valuation issues in shareholder disputes, professional malpractice claims, and the legal fallout of backdated stock options.
These real-world decisions serve as a reminder to valuation analysts, attorneys, and financial professionals of the importance of diligence, standards of value, and expert methodology in defending or challenging economic damages.
