FOR ATTORNEYS
Buy and read: The Lawyer’s Business Valuation Handbook: Understanding Financial Statements, Appraisal Reports, and Expert Testimony, by Shannon P. Pratt. For purchasing information see: www.abanet.org/abastore. This book is by far the best and most understandable business valuation reference for lawyers. If this book does not address a particular business valuation topic, a lawyer is unlikely to need to understand it.
The following is a basic list of questions when interviewing a potential business valuation expert:
- List education, training, and experience
- List prior testifying experience (list of court room and deposition)
- Explain why their credentials are good/better/best
- Ask for all articles/books/speeches published (get copies of everything written) – to prevent surprise on cross-examination
- List prior testifying experience in subject’s business industry (can be extremely helpful but exact experience is not necessary)
- Some potential experts will prepare for the meeting by performing limited research on the industry or subject business (very helpful)
- Determine number of times engaged by opposing counsel
- Determine friendships or possible conflicts with potential witnesses
- Determine expert’s practice about retaining work papers (read about work paper retention policies in Shannon Pratt’s book)
- Engagement fees, costs, and review “standard” engagement agreement
- Hired by client or lawyer? Who is legally responsible for expert’s fee
