Expropriation
When land is taken or a construction project is carried out by an authority which disrupts the operations of a business, our professionals will identify the financial impact directly related to the event, examine relocation costs, assess costs to cure, and perform market and competitor analyses.
As the world’s premier forensic accounting firm, MDD has Certified Valuation Analysts (CVAs) and Chartered Business Valuators (CBVs) with the experience and knowledge to deliver expert reports that are based on approved professional standards. These assessments may be used for negotiation for proceedings before courts and tribunals.
