With the end of the year comes a hectic time in the M&A market. In addition to transaction advisors, it is on the shoulders of legal and tax advisors that the greatest responsibility usually rests on the smooth and professional execution of transactions.

Despite the increasing specialization, there is an objective need among legal and tax advisors to have knowledge of the financial aspects of the implementation of the project, and in particular, the key factors affecting the value of the transaction carried out.

Valuation is a professional and objective process of preparing an opinion on the value of an asset or liability. A properly conducted valuation should identify the key factors creating the value of the subject of the transaction and support the development of a negotiating strategy.
