When financial disputes head to court, the credibility of your evidence can make or break your case. For attorneys representing clients in shareholder disputes, divorces, partner exits, or commercial litigation, a certified business valuation is one of the most powerful tools you can bring into the courtroom.
At Strong Tower Valuations, we provide litigation support services for attorneys who need accurate, defensible, and unbiased business valuations. Our credentialed team understands the stakes, the scrutiny, and the level of detail that courts require—and we’re here to help you and your clients navigate every step of the process.
Why a Certified Business Valuation Is Essential in Litigation
Not all valuations are created equal. In litigation settings, a business valuation must do more than estimate value—it must hold up to cross-examination, opposing experts, and judicial review.
Here’s why certified valuations are critical in legal disputes:
- They follow accepted valuation standards (such as those from NACVA, AICPA, or ASA)
- They are prepared by credentialed professionals with experience in litigation settings
- They document assumptions and methodologies thoroughly and transparently
- They produce a clear, defendable conclusion of value—not just a range or informal opinion
Courts rely on valuations that demonstrate objectivity, rigor, and professional judgment. Anything less may be dismissed or given little weight in a decision.

Situations Where Business Valuations Support Legal Strategy
We regularly work with attorneys across a wide range of litigation scenarios. Common valuation-related disputes include:
- Shareholder or partnership disputes – When ownership interests need to be bought out, dissolved, or divided
- Divorce proceedings – When one or both spouses own a business and equitable distribution requires fair market value
- Commercial litigation – When damages need to be quantified due to breach of contract, lost profits, or business interruption
- Business dissolutions – When owners part ways or disputes result in formal termination of operations
- Estate and trust disputes – When beneficiaries or fiduciaries contest the reported value of a closely held business
In each of these cases, courts expect a valuation that is grounded in fact—not speculation—and backed by standards, methodology, and professional credentials.
What Makes a Valuation Defensible in Court?
To support litigation, a valuation must go beyond surface-level analysis. A court-ready report includes:
- Detailed financial analysis with normalizations and adjustments
- Clear explanation of valuation methods (income, market, and asset-based approaches)
- Consideration of relevant legal facts and restrictions tied to ownership or control
- Market and industry context to support assumptions
- Transparent logic and supporting documentation throughout the report
At Strong Tower Valuations, our reports are built with these elements in mind—ensuring you’re not just putting a number in front of the court, but putting forward a valuation that withstands scrutiny.
