Whether you are invested in a publicly traded or privately held company, we will connect you with a qualified, independent appraiser who will assist in determining the true value of your business assets. We will then protect these interests through intelligent, aggressive legal representation.

Valuation and Division of Business Assets During Divorce

Different factors must be considered in addressing business assets in a South Florida divorce. This may include:

• The fair market value of the business;
• Any appreciation or depreciation of business assets during the marriage;
• Assets from the sale of a business, which was sold during the marriage; and
• Any appreciation of nonmarital business assets.
