Corporate Advisory

Valuation Consulting Services

The corporate world continues to increase its focus on shareholder value creation and maximisation. We provide clients with technically sound advice in all areas of value measurement and reporting. Our valuation outputs benefit from the scrutiny of individuals with a wealth of practical senior executive experience, meaning that in addition to being technically robust, they go far beyond the academic. Our valuation services might support merger or acquisition activities, take the form of independent reporting to Boards or Trustees, or assist in strategic decision analysis.

  • Valuations of businesses, shares and other forms of equity
  • Valuations of intellectual property and intangible assets
  • Valuations of share options
  • Formal assessments of weighted average costs of capital and capital structure reviews
  • Shareholder value management
  • Financial and strategic decision analysis
  • Cash flow modelling and forecasting

Public Reporting

Companies that are 'Code Companies' for the purposes of the Takeovers Code may be required to appoint an independent expert to produce an Independent Adviser's Report opining on the merits of a full or partial takeover offer, or of various allotments or acquisitions of securities affecting control.

Similarly, listed companies are required to obtain an Independent Appraisal Report in the event of a material transaction with a related party, or for various issues of shares.

Our corporate finance team:

  • Has been previously approved by the Takeovers Panel and NZX Regulation to prepare independent reports
  • Contains significant experience in the preparation of independent reports under a number of provisions of the Takeovers Code and Listing Rules
  • Does not experience the same level of potential conflicts when establishing independence to the regulators' satisfaction as do some of the larger, full service firms
  • Is very responsive in meeting the tight deadlines typical of these engagements

Litigation Support

Our core skill sets mean that we are well placed to assist in quantifying economic loss. We can offer advice in relation to disputes where:

  • The value of a business, shares or intangible assets are at question; or
  • It is necessary to estimate the likely impact on short term profits of the actions of one of the parties to a dispute.

We offer litigation support services in the following areas:

  • Initial quantification of loss for claim formulation purposes
  • Assistance in identifying items of financial importance for inclusion in discovery lists
  • Formal quantifications of loss for inclusion in expert reports and/ or performance of expert witness roles
  • Financial advisory assistance in settlement negotiations

In addition, should specialist accounting, taxation or audit evidence be required, we are able to draw on the services of staff within the national chartered accounting practice of Staples Rodway.
