Business Valuation & Division

Doing Justice to Business Valuation and Divorce

Arriving at a property division settlement agreeable to both parties can be challenging in any divorce. When a business or professional practice — such as a medical, dental or law office — is part of the property at stake, it is essential to retain a business-savvy family law attorney to protect your interests. With the volatility of many markets today, this decision is especially critical.

Benefit From the Knowledge of a Former Business Owner and CFO

In Ventura or Los Angeles County, you can contact the firm led by Richard Van Sickle, a successful entrepreneur who also served as chief financial officer for companies in several industries. Our combination of high-level business accounting knowledge and deep experience in California family law can make a major difference for you.

Working With Recognized Experts on Business Valuation Issues

There are many different methodologies for putting a value on a business or professional practice. Mr. Van Sickle and our other lawyers work with qualified CPAs, forensic accounting specialists and economic specialists to arrive at a fair, accurate valuation of your specific business interests.

This level of expert analysis from a credible source can improve your chance of success in negotiations incrementally — and be the difference for you should we need to litigate your case.

Protect the Viability and Manageability of the Business

We will use the equivalent of a precision scalpel in dissecting your assets and proposing a property division settlement. If left entirely to the courts, you may see that division executed with an indiscriminate approach.

Many other outcomes of your divorce can hinge on business valuation. With this sizeable asset properly valued, we can set about structuring buyouts and tradeoffs against other property in order to help you achieve equal property division without seriously harming or destroying the business.

Whether you have built a business through your own skill and hard work or supported your spouse's business success through years of effort in other areas, we will diligently evaluate your assets and advocate aggressively for you to emerge with your fair share. Contact our Thousand Oaks and Ventura, California, law offices today for informed, aggressive defense of your finances and your future.
