What makes an expert witness' valuation testimony persuasive? A lawyer, two experts and a judge will discuss when valuations take center stage in bankruptcy cases, how the expert witnesses prepare and defend their valuations when subjected to robust cross examination, and what makes valuation testimony persuasive to the court, which is, of course, the name of the game. They will also discuss how to approach valuing unique businesses in changing economic environments.
