Business Valuation and the Discovery Process

Most of the business valuations I prepare are in the context of litigation. In anticipation of such a valuation, I will always prepare a document discovery request. Additionally, I will often need to prepare a supplemental document request list once I review the original submissions. While opposing counsel in most of my cases cooperate by providing the requested documents, some do not. Nevertheless, I am typically working, with counsel, under a court-imposed deadline for completion of the business valuation.
