Jumpstart your business valuation case law research
How much wasted time and money could you save if you knew the relevant decisions before you started the "time-clock" in Lexis or Westlaw? If you have a tax, matrimonial, bankruptcy, shareholder oppression, lost profits, corporate, ESOP, commercial damages, business valuation, estate and gift, M&A or other matter in which financial expert testimony is involved, turn to Financial Litigation Database (FLD). FLD has the leading cases searchable by topic and jurisdiction, court and type of case, judge and expert— with detailed abstracts to save you still more time, as you evaluate and prepare your case.
There are NO search fees ... No printing costs ... No hidden charges.
Enjoy these benefits:
- No search fees
Pay one annual price! Use FLD on a virtually unlimited basis. No charges for searches, downloads, or time spent. If there was any time in our history where we should be minimizing our search costs, it is now.
- Simple search
We have the necessary search tools you need, and provide a simple “search and go” feature as a starting point. You won’t need to fumble with the right terms or sources, or call your librarian to figure out how to get the source you need. Here are some sample recent searches.
- Single source for all valuation case law
FLD is the largest, single-source compendium of case law that involves any aspect of business valuation in tax, commercial matters, divorce, shareholder disputes, securities litigation, and more. Over 2,800 cases spanning decades of decisions are updated every week from all state and federal courts, including the U.S. Tax Court and Federal Court of Claims.
- Proven authority
BVR was founded by the dean of the business valuation profession and author of the leading textbooks on the subject, Dr. Shannon Pratt.
- Tested value to you and your financial experts
Financial Litigation Database (FLD) is broadly and consistently consulted by business valuation litigators and experts headed to court or into attorneys’ offices to advise on valuations. This is important: proving your financial case may well hinge on the communication between you and your financial expert. BVR is the standard in business valuation research, and BVRLegal is built with that standard in mind. Abstracts are written with a thorough understanding of valuation, so you can quickly grasp the jurisdictional twists on the legal principles at play.
- Cost effectiveness
Save thousands of dollars compared to searching for these cases in generic, unwieldy, and expensive databases. Our lawyers and editors painstakingly review cases to ensure that your search results will turn up the most recent and relevant decisions to use in disputes, deals, or litigation in which business, securities, lost profits, and asset valuations are key.
- More perspectives!
To help you size-up and evaluate your case, FLD includes academic papers, expert commentary, key court documents, and news items regarding the latest valuation-related cases. New resources are added every day. What conclusions are the experts drawing from the Delaware Chancery Court's most recent opinion on using managements forecasts in statutory appraisal and shareholder oppression actions? What are the ramifications of a Virginia court's consideration of subsequent events in a divorce case? What are the latest standards by which federal courts exclude financial experts (and their evidence) under Daubert and Rule 702 FRE?
