We provide valuations of IP assets used as loan security as well as for the purposes of finance structures such as sale and lease back arrangements. We have experience of delivering valuations for company prospectus use in new share issues and stock market listings. We are also able to assist with valuations to substantiate ‘hidden reserves’ in Annual Reports that impact credit ratings with major financial institutions.

Litigation

Valuation of IP can be a critical factor in dispute resolution and we have extensive experience of providing independent expert evidence for use in Court proceedings; Arbitration; and Mediation/ADR.
