Company valuation update 2023

News from doctrine, practice and case law on company valuation

Introduction

Companies and the way they generate value are subject to constant change. This also applies to their valuation (How high is the value?), assessment (How fair is the value?) and distribution (Who owns the value?). Valuation theory, valuation practice and case law reflect this change. The “Business Valuation Update” regularly presents current developments that are significant for professional practice.
