In Litigation, Your Valuation Is Your Evidence
When a business, equity of interest, or economic loss sits at the center of a legal dispute, the valuation report is not a supporting document - it is the evidence. A weak methodology, missing disclosures, or an unqualified appraiser can lead to exclusion under Daubert, discredited testimony, and a lost case.
At Transaction Capital LLC, every litigation engagement is prepared and signed by a credentialed appraiser - built for admissibility, defensibility, and cross-examination from day one.

When Do You Need a Litigation Valuation?
- Commercial litigation is filed - Damages must be prepared under expert witness standards.
- Shareholder or partnership dispute - FMV of the contested interest must be independently established.
- Breach of contract claim - Lost profits and expectation damages require quantified support.
- IP infringement is alleged -Patent, trademark, and trade secret damages require specialized methodology.
- Regulatory or IRS action - Court-admissible FMV documentation shifts the burden of proof.
- Economic damages must be proven - Personal injury, wrongful termination, and wrongful death claims.
- Bankruptcy proceedings begin - Solvency, preference, and fraudulent conveyance analysis required.
- Post-M&A dispute emerges - Earnout and indemnification claims need independent quantification.
- Opposing party retains an expert - A credentialed counter-report protects against inflated conclusions.
