BRISBANE SEMINAR - BUSINESS VALUATIONS FROM A FAMILY LAW PERSPECTIVE

Over 300 legal firms have attended our free training events so far - has yours?

Join us for this live seminar at the Chartered Accountants building in the Brisbane CBD. We’ll eliminate the jargon and leave our ego at the door as you get to go behind the scenes and learn how a competent business valuer really approaches a family law engagement. The content is suitable for solicitors and barristers and has been updated.

Learn the top 10 mistakes made by solicitors engaging a business valuer for family law and other matters. Find out when, how and why a solicitor should get involved in the business valuation process to do their job effectively as a legal advocate. Learn to show your clients you can make a real difference. This seminar will give practical examples.

At the seminar we’ll go through our ‘cheat sheet’ of the typical list of issues that solicitors should be arguing about to ethically influence the valuation outcome lower or higher. Learn how to approach the common accusation of unreported cash income.

In our experience too many solicitors sit back because they don’t know what to argue. In this session you’ll see the common issues and learn how to spot more on each case.

Presented by Trevor Monaghan, an experienced Chartered Accountant and Accredited Business Valuation Specialist, this seminar will go beyond the norm of boring presentations.
