KW Economics provides business valuation for cases venued in Seattle, Washington. For a business based in Seattle, 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 Seattle-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 Seattle are typically heard in the Superior Court sitting in King County. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Seattle matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.
Employers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing shape the Seattle labor market, and where an analysis turns on local economic conditions it measures them against Seattle-area data and the records of the person or business at issue rather than against a citywide average. Plaintiff and defense.
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.
