Litigation Support

Censere works with both affected parties and advocates in shareholder disputes, statutory valuation situations and breach of contract cases, through:

Shareholder Dispute ValuationsCentral to these disputes is the value of a financial interest in a business or investment project. One of Censere core strengths is our financial valuation capability which enables us to determine a fair, supportable value in the most demanding of situations.

Quantification ReportsOften, disputes relate to losses sustained as a result of failure to deliver on agreed contractual parameters. Such parameters could pertain to production outputs, completion dates, operating efficiencies or other similar measurable factors. Measuring such loss in a logical, supportable manner is key to either proving or disproving fault and/or establishing the extent of liability.

Statutory ValuationsValuations are often required for tax planning, estate duty determination, local authority rating or eminent domain purposes. Censere combines its financial and technical valuation capabilities with leading real estate valuation professionals to offer comprehensive services in these areas.

Expert Witness TestimonyIt goes without saying, but we will anyway....expert opinions generally need to be presented in person in an unbiased and professional manner. Censere has experts in many areas who have given expert witness testimony on numerous occasions.
