About the Firm
Objective Financial Analysis for Corporate Deadlocks
We deliver clear financial analysis and business valuation data that resolves complex shareholder and corporate disputes in court, arbitration, and structured settlement processes worldwide.
Mission
Shareholder Dispute Expert exists to answer one question with mathematical rigour: what is the true financial value or economic loss at the center of this corporate dispute? Every service and every report is oriented around that question.
Contentious corporate valuation is not an academic exercise. It requires commercial acumen and strict forensic discipline to protect equity stakes and withstand judicial or tribunal scrutiny across jurisdictions.
Our Values
Absolute Uncompromising Independence
Expert metrics built strictly on verifiable market indicators and empirical ledger analysis. We form views unswayed by instructing parties or target outcomes.
Forensic Rigour
No speculative asset mapping or unsubstantiated valuation multiples. Every discount rate, growth factor, and normalization adjustment must be supported by clear market realities and corporate books.
Commercial Reality
Companies are dynamic operating businesses. Our valuations look past book entries to understand market positioning, supply chain reliance, and true maintainable earnings.
Discretion & Privacy
Corporate deadlocks can destroy commercial value if mishandled. Every intake pipeline, file structure, and diagnostic step is handled with institutional-grade security.
Technical foundations
Contentious Valuation Methodology & Expert Standards
Independent forensic accounting and business valuation built for shareholder disputes, partnership breakups, and cross-border corporate litigation.
Income approach (DCF and capitalised earnings)
Maintainable earnings are isolated through forensic normalization, then capitalised or discounted using defensible growth and risk assumptions tied to market evidence.
Market approach
Comparable company and transaction multiples are applied only where the subject entity and dispute context support reliable benchmarking.
Asset-based approach
Adjusted net asset values are used where earnings are unreliable, in asset-heavy businesses, or where liquidation or break-up scenarios are in issue.
Fair value vs minority discount
Articles, shareholders' agreements, and quasi-partnership assumptions determine whether a pro-rata or discounted minority stake is the correct economic outcome.
