Thank you so much for the question. I'd be happy to.
In terms of neutrality in valuation, our firm, for example, does a tremendous amount of matrimonial work between parties. We're actually hired by both parties because we take the neutrality position very seriously. Neutrality essentially means that any appearance of non-neutrality.... The appearance of favouring one party over another is toxic or poison for the credibility of the final valuation.
We have found, in our experience, that it has resulted in much better outcomes for the parties if the person providing the valuation is not influenced or pressured by either party.
