Valuation Dispute Advisory

PGAS & Associates provides independent, defensible, and litigation-ready valuation dispute advisory services for matters involving disagreement, challenge, or scrutiny of value before courts, tribunals, regulators, and arbitral forums.

Independent, Objective & Defensible Valuations

Valuation disputes arise when stakeholders disagree on the fair value of a business, shares, or assets—often in high-stakes legal and regulatory situations. In such cases, valuation is no longer a commercial exercise; it becomes a matter of evidence, credibility, and legal sustainability.

At PGAS & Associates, we specialise in valuation advisory for contested, litigated, and high-scrutiny environments, where outcomes depend on the strength, neutrality, and defensibility of the valuation approach.

Our team of Registered Valuers (IBBI), Chartered Accountants, and financial experts supports clients, legal counsel, and decision-makers by delivering valuations that withstand regulatory review, cross-examination, and judicial scrutiny.
