Welcome to Financial Valuation and Litigation Expert, a bi-monthly journal presenting views and tools from many of the leading experts in financial valuation, forensics/fraud and litigation services. These national experts are the strength of this publication and our source for insightful and concise columns.

That’s another theme here—columns from an incredible knowledge base that are short, very informative, and to the point. Most of the columns are one or two pages, with some at three. We have presented columns that are mostly intermediate and advanced, with some that are more basic.

There are several valuable features you’ll find in every edition. “Daubert on the Docket” brings you excerpts from new court cases involving Daubert and Daubert-like challenges, so that you can see what the court had to say about about financial expert witnesses and their testimony. Another ongoing “tool” is “Cost of Capital Corner,” which we believe you will find useful. Every issue also presents summaries of current court cases of high interest to those in our field. We also present expert resources and data sources, association news, industry-specific updates, valuation methods and applications, discounts and premiums, I.P. infringement, expert witness suggestions, forensic/fraud examples, and damage calculation illustrations.

We hope you’ll download and enjoy our complimentary premiere edition. If you like what you see, please visit our subscription page to receive your bi-monthly electronic or print copy of future editions.
