How many times have you needed to check on a certain legal case or issue—in a tax, divorce, ESOP, or other business valuation litigation matter—and you just haven’t been able to put your hands on the court opinion?  How many times have you wanted to send a copy of a new, cutting-edge valuation case to your attorney referrals, but haven’t had quick and easy access to the most recent opinions from the courts?

Valuation cases at the click of a button. 
Appraisers and attorneys alike turn to BVLaw for instant availability of new case law as well as critical business valuation precedent from all U.S. courts.  Unlike Lexis/Nexis or other generic research databases, BVLaw serves as a central repository for all valuation cases, briefs and valuation reports, statutes and articles. Every day our legal analysts track published decisions from the courts in all 50 states and the federal jurisdictions– including the Delaware Chancery Court and the U.S. Tax Courts– guaranteeing that you (and your clients) keep current on all the latest valuation law. 

With a couple of keystrokes you instantly capture all pertinent cases and all relevant case materials.  Search results are delivered to clearly identify what valuation issues were before the court—and what factors won the case for the appraiser and attorney.

BVLaw is continually updated:

• As of October 15, 2007, BVLaw contained 2,684 full-text court cases dating back to 1925, including “landmark” cases in key BV areas such as discounts for lack of marketability, S corporation valuation, statutory appraisal actions, estate and gift taxation, marital dissolution actions in all 50 states, and more
  
  
• Primary court and valuation report documents – materials that often identify the appraisers and lawyers involved in key decisions
  
  
• Entire collection of legal analysis from ValuationInformation.com – not available anywhere else!
  
  
• Business valuation corporate statutes from all 50 states
  
  
• All pertinent IRS materials, including revenue rulings and procedures, IRC sections, Technical Advice Memoranda (TAMs) and Field Service Advice (FSAs).
  
  
• State-of-the-art search engine, tested by thousands of BV users for functionality and ease of use
  
  
• Completely flexible search criteria—you can search by “state/jurisdiction” or by “type of case,” or combine the two terms!  (For example, a recent search for  marital dissolution business valuation cases in California yielded 32 results, sorted by relevancy)

The cost of a subscription to BVLaw is dramatically less than your time and cost to research, locate, and deliver a single BV case from any other legal research database.
