Valuations

Robust and commercial valuation advice

For organisations involved in a transaction or a dispute, or embarking on restructuring, the value of the business involved and its assets is always an important commercial consideration. Our valuation specialists blend technical expertise with a pragmatic outlook to deliver support during transactions, restructuring and disputes.

We also provide robust commercial independent advice on regulatory and administrative matters – valuing businesses, listed and unlisted securities, complex financial instruments and tangible and intangible assets. With market-leading teams in all the key financial centres, we are perfectly positioned to advise you on complex, cross-border valuations.
