Valuation

Valuation is integral to most of the matters with which Compass Lexecon is involved, from mergers and acquisitions to litigation and other disputes. We understand that, while valuation frequently involves judgments, arbitrary assumptions can lead to improper valuations. Reasonable and appropriate assumptions must be based on careful economic analysis and the systematic review of available evidence. Compass Lexecon’s emphasis on market evidence as a check on our conclusions sets us apart from other valuation professionals.
