Dividing Complex Assets
When divorcing spouses own a business or a stake in a business, they need divorce attorneys who understand business valuation. It may be important to retain a lawyer who not only will negotiate a settlement, but also has the ability to provide litigation if there are disputes over dividing the business.
At Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP, we assist our clients through the process of business valuation. We also provide aggressive litigation for any disputes that arise. Our experienced litigation attorneys are committed to protecting and securing the financial interests of our clients, no matter how complex the assets.
Business Valuation and Litigation
In order to properly value your joint business assets, financial accounts must be carefully examined. Our lawyers will work closely with forensic accountants, when necessary, who can correctly value a business or review an existing valuation to ensure accuracy. Once your marital business interests are fully valued, we will begin pursuing a property settlement agreement that is in your best interest.
We have experience with all types of businesses and corporations. Our experienced attorneys can provide informed analysis about the tax consequences and structure of all business entities. We can help you value and divide all of your assets, including:
- Businesses and partnerships
- Professional practices
- Privately and publicly held companies
- Stock options
When divorcing parties cannot agree on the value of their business, even after our financial experts have completed a business appraisal, it may be necessary to pursue litigation. We will present evidence about the value of the business, protecting your rights to an equitable division.
We have offices in Chicago, Wheaton and Oswego. To make an appointment, please call our Wheaton business appraisals attorneys at 630-871-1002 or contact us online.
