Share Valuations
The valuation of shares in an unquoted company is an art and not a science. In many cases, detailed negotiations will be necessary before an appropriate value acceptable to all parties can be agreed.
We believe it is important that professional advisers are sensitive to clients needs and their particular circumstances in approaching the negotiations required. Often such share transactions can occur against a background of considerable emotional stress for the parties involved.
TWP has a proven approach to valuing shares. We have wide ranging practical experience in negotiating and agreeing share valuations and can ensure that the best result is obtained for individual clients.
