- InhaltsangabeThe bankruptcy process is not always well understood from a practical level by those making business decisions and evaluating strategic alternatives. Business Valuation and Bankruptcy helps you--whether you are an accountant dealing with a troubled company, a lender, an investor, a bankruptcy and restructuring lawyer, financial advisor, or a private equity player--to understand case-determinative issues when creditors, lenders, and debtors have differing views of value. It lets you understand the context of the issues and get far below the surface of the analysis you will be making. Introducing valuation issues early on in the restructuring/bankruptcy process so you can plan accordingly, this book offers: * A description of the life cycle of a troubled company and the various stages of a restructuring * An analysis of the valuation issues that confront practitioners in the real-world application of the law * Coverage of the key principals in practice * An indepth look at the legal environment in which both the valuation testimony is received and how the testimony is measured to determine its admissibility Written by practitioners who have practical experience in the courtroom as experts and lawyers, as well as at the negotiating table, Business Valuation and Bankruptcy is packed with many real-life examples to demonstrate the applicable sections of the bankruptcy laws.

- Praise for Business Valuation And Bankruptcy "For the restructuring lawyer or anyone else seeking a cogent and accessible exposition of the first principles of valuation and how valuation issues fit in the bankruptcy process, this timely and clearly written book is the natural place to turn." Professor Douglas G. Baird, The University of Chicago Law School, Scholar in Residence for the American College of Bankruptcy "There are no easy business valuation issues in bankruptcy. However, armed with this treatise, bankruptcy professionals and courts can confront the valuation challenges in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. I found this book a remarkable effort in addressing the issues presented in distressed business valuations. The work is thoughtful, broad in scope, detailed in areas where necessary, and a substantial contribution to the literature. I was especially impressed that the book has much to offer to attorneys, judges, and valuation professionals. I highly recommend the work to any serious student of business valuations in bankruptcy." Professor Jack F. Williams, Georgia State University College of Law, author, lecturer, and American Bankruptcy Institute Resident Scholar "An excellent guide to the wide variety of valuation issues that professionals face on a daily basis, in the insolvency world. This work provides us with a wide range of analyses, taking us from the initial stages of an engagement, determining a company's viability, up through the entire insolvency process. An essential tool for any bankruptcy professional" John Ames,Greenbaum Doll & McDonald PLLC,President, American Bankruptcy Institute (20072009) "I have read several books on valuation principles and theory. Business Valuation and Bankruptcy is by far the best written, best organized, and most approachable. The valuation methodologies and theories are explained in plain language, and the inclusion of the application of those methodologies and theories to the Bankruptcy Code and reported cases is immensely helpful. I have asked our entire Business Reorganization Team to read Business Valuation and Bankruptcy, and I intend to keep it handy as a reference." Paul Steven Singerman, Berger Singerman, former chair of the Florida Bar Bankruptcy Commitee
