DIVORCE IN SPORTS FRANCHISE

It is important to partner with a highly respected and qualified valuation firm when dealing with a divorce involving ownership in a sports franchise.

The sports valuation firm should possess extensive knowledge of the team and league, along with a database of deals they have worked on to serve as reference points. Choosing a firm that does not specialize in the sports sector could lead to an inaccurate valuation, failure to counter claims by the opposing valuation expert, skewed results for one of the parties, and/or additional litigation.

Many well-documented, high-profile cases show the risks of choosing a firm that cannot handle sports franchise valuations. Litigation to fix valuation mistakes can be expensive and often doesn't undo errors made by inexperienced firms. Therefore, it's crucial to pick a firm whose staff works daily with relevant contacts in the sports industry to ensure accurate valuations and good outcomes for everyone.
