Bankruptcies, foreclosures, and restructurings involve significant legal analysis in their own right, not to mention the additional impact of complex and contentious litigation in many special-asset situations. These legal issues can complicate, if not destroy, a client’s position if not handled properly.
Equity Development Systems, Ltd. special asset teams and internationally accredited appraisal experts work closely with the client and their legal representatives to coordinate and meet the client’s objectives. Our appraisal review experts conduct in-depth analyses to provide objective opinions-of-value and advice that help resolve complex appraisal compliance and valuation issues. We advise client counsel in the preparation of appraisal related discovery, Daubert Challenges and Rule 702 Motions, and appraisal regulatory compliance with international Basel II Accords and U.S. state and federal law and the Uniform Standards for Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) requirements.
The newly enacted Pension Protection Act of 2006 rewrites federal regulations defining “qualified appraiser” and “qualified appraisal”. With this, revisions to U.S. federal law redefining “expert witness” place new challenges in advising and handling appraisal expert witness related matters in litigation. EDS’s internationally accredited appraisal experts meet or exceed these new International and U.S. regulations and can help provide you with the winning edge.
