Chartered Business Valuators (CBVs) are widely recognized as expert witnesses by courts in Canadian and international jurisdictions. They provide independent, objective analysis in business valuation, income determination, and the quantification of damages. It’s the kind of evidence that holds up under scrutiny when a dispute reaches the courtroom.
Litigation support
When a legal dispute turns on financial questions, expert opinion matters. When the future of a business is on the line, you need qualified, court-recognized experts. CBVs are recognized by the courts as experts in business valuation, and have provided valuation and litigation support for more than 50 years, making them trusted partners for businesses of any size. They provide expert evidence on legal, tax, and financial disputes across a wide range of issues.
In a multi-part video series, Mathieu Lapointe, CBV, M.Sc., Senior Manager, Forensics and Disputes at PwC Canada, interviews fellow CBVs on litigation support and the role of the Chartered Business Valuator.
