To help arbitrators — present and aspiring — to deal with these challenges effectively, EY, together with the Equal Representation in Arbitration Pledge Young Practitioners Subcommittee and ArbitralWomen, with support from the Rising Arbitrators Initiative, is hosting a virtual workshop series. The series will give you an understanding of the key aspects of quantum and expert evidence, the drivers of differences between experts, and the options available to narrow down and/or resolve the differences.

When experts disagree — Business valuations

This session will focus on the reasons why experts, working on opposite sides of a dispute, may form different opinions. The discussion will centre on a business valuation case study where participants will have the opportunity to apply business valuation concepts and to explore some of the reasons why two experts’ valuations of the same business can differ. We will also consider the impact that particular characteristics of the business may have on its valuation, for example the industry or country where the business operates. In the course of this session we will cover:

• The technical basis for business valuations and commonly accepted approaches
• Common reasons why business valuation experts may disagree
• Practical examples of how those differences arise and their impact

Join EY, the Equal Representation in Arbitration Pledge Young Practitioners Subcommittee, ArbitralWomen and the Rising Arbitrators Initiative for the above event on 24 June at 10am CEST. Register here.
