Business Valuation and Bankruptcy

The bankruptcy process is not always well understood from a practical level by those making business decisions and evaluating strategic alternatives. Business Valuation and Bankruptcy helps you—whether you are an accountant dealing with a troubled company, a lender, an investor, a bankruptcy and restructuring lawyer, financial advisor, or a private equity player—to understand case-determinative issues when creditors, lenders, and debtors have differing views of value. It lets you understand the context of the issues and get far below the surface of the analysis you will be making.

Introducing valuation issues early on in the restructuring/bankruptcy process so you can plan accordingly, this book offers:

• A description of the life cycle of a troubled company and the various stages of a restructuring

• An analysis of the valuation issues that confront practitioners in the real-world application of the law

• Coverage of the key principals in practice

• An in-depth look at the legal environment in which both the valuation testimony is received and how the testimony is measured to determine its admissibility

Written by practitioners who have practical experience in the courtroom as experts and lawyers, as well as at the negotiating table, Business Valuation and Bankruptcy is packed with many real-life examples to demonstrate the applicable sections of the bankruptcy laws.
