Common questions
- How do UK expert witnesses value goodwill and intangibles?
- Approaches include earnings capitalisation, relief from royalty, and cost-based methods depending on whether the asset is brand, customer relationships, or personal goodwill. The choice must fit the dispute context and available evidence.
- Why does personal versus business goodwill matter in litigation?
- Personal goodwill may not transfer with a sale of the business, which affects realisable value in divorce, partnership dissolution, and HMRC disputes. Experts evidence the split with client concentration, key-person risk, and restrictive covenant analysis.
