Business valuation is not simply math but should be a documented outline of the finance professional's thought process. A story exists behind the numbers, and an effective appraiser translates the market evidence.

Surveying the Application of 'Daimler' in the Circuits

Stephen Baldini, Anthony Pierce and Stanley Woodward of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld write: The watershed decision in 'Daimler' reversed the notion that companies with substantial sales throughout the United States can be sued anywhere. While it has been nearly two years since the decision, there have been notably few challenges to the exercise of general personal jurisdiction in the U.S. federal circuit courts. Those courts that have addressed the issue, however, highlight who the beneficiaries of 'Daimler' are: non-U.S. entities, entities sued in inconvenient forums, and, potentially, entities whose websites are accessible in many jurisdictions.
