KW Economics provides business valuation for cases venued in Washington, the District of Columbia. For a business based in Washington, the valuation date and the standard of value are inputs that counsel defines for the matter, the company's own financial statements, tax returns, and governing agreements drive the income, market, and asset approaches, and Washington-area market conditions inform the normalization of its results and the market-approach comparables where local data exists. The same valuation methods apply in every venue, and every input is documented so the value can be tested at deposition. Civil claims arising in Washington are typically heard in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Washington matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.

Valuation of closely held businesses and ownership interests for shareholder and partnership disputes, divorce, estate and gift matters, and buy-sell disagreements. The work applies the income, market, and asset approaches under the standard of value that governs the matter, addresses discounts for lack of control and marketability where they apply, and documents every input so the conclusion can be tested on cross-examination.
