“Valuation for Arbitration” will help counsel and arbitrators answer central questions in damages litigation.
* Is the objective of the damages award to put the injured business back into the same position as if the investment had never been made or back into the position as if the investment had been made but the unlawful conduct had never occurred?
* Do “bright line” rules of law exist?
* Who bears the consequences of the inherently uncertain nature of estimating lost future earnings?
The book’s many practical recommendations explore three central aspects of the arbitrator’s role:
* Advance planning to enhance understanding of expert valuation evidence;
* Identification of “apples-to-oranges” miscomparisons;
* Recognition of the true comparability between the business at issue and other examples offered in the expert evidence.
