As a Certified Mediator with certifications as CPA, Business Valuation, Forensic Accounting, Fraud Examiner, Certified Global Management Accountant, experience and training help parties understand the value of solving their case as soon as possible and a probable continuance of their business relationship. Businesses today do not have time or monies to waste in long time disputes. Most resolved their differences as soon as possible in order to continue with the day by day operations. Contingencies affect the value of businesses. Employment disputes most also be solved. Management must be conscious and understand the value of that important intangible which is "workforce in place and operational”. I always say "Business valuation determines the estimated value of a business. In litigation support (which includes alternate dispute resolution) we help the lawyer, parties, jury and jurors understand the complicated accounting, finance, statistical and economic issues."
