Litigation Support Services

- Marital Dissolution: How much could an ex-spouse receive?

- Corporate Disputes: What would a fair price have been?

- Economic Damages and Diminution of Value: How much value was lost?

Insight Valuations provides litigation support services, working in coordination with your legal counsel. Due to the jurisdiction-driven nature of litigation, we may refer you to valuation specialists more familiar with the jurisdiction specific to your matter. 

Insight Valuations does not act as an advocate. We first and foremost provide independent, unbiased, and objective valuation reports. In addition to what may be considered the foundational appraisal, we may - and often do - provide supplemental scenario analyses that may consider atypical inputs and assumptions. However, such analyses are clearly represented as being supplemental to the primary independent, unbiased, and objective valuation analysis.

Examples of Litigation Support Engagements:

• Economic Damages - A landlord does not, in a timely manner, properly repair damage to a building following a major weather event, and the subject company suffers damages and disruption beyond what insurance covers. The company intends to sue the landlord for the amount of damages beyond what the insurance covers.
• Diminution of Value - A tenant is effectively forced out of their specialized facility as a result of a breach of contract on the part of the real property owner, and without the capital to readily or quickly build the facility required for their operations; they subsequently must shutter the company. The company intends to sue to recover the economic value permanently lost that otherwise would not have occurred but for the actions of the real property owner.
• Marital Divorce - Under certain circumstances in the State of Texas, the ex-spouse is initially entitled to half of operating spouse's company, excluding personal goodwill directly attributable to the operating spouse. The court or counsel needs to determine what amount of the company's value may be considered divisible.

In all of these cases, Insight Valuations helps to answer the question: What is a reasonable estimate of the damage, loss, or divisible asset?
