Business Valuation Services for Marital Dissolution

Arxis Financial offers extensive valuation expertise in marital dissolution matters. Whether it is a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or LLC, we can determine the value of the business, the value of an ownership interest, and the change in value over a specified period of time. Our expertise is particularly advantageous in family law matters because of our skill sets in uncovering essential facts and developing defensible valuations. A key reason that attorneys engage Arxis Financial is our ability to analyze, explain and present financially complex valuation issues, which is an important asset in determining a legal strategy as well as achieving your client’s goals.
