2023 was another busy year for the FRP specialist valuation and matrimonial team. We have undertaken over 90 new instructions on matrimonial and valuation matters, bringing the number of instructions taken by our experts over the last decade to over 900 cases. Our experts and team are based in our Norwich and Cambridge offices. However, we continue to receive instructions from across the UK and a few from overseas. There is no typical case, and we value businesses ranging in size from small family companies to large complex groups of companies including those with international trade and turnover in excess of £500 million. Our experts Fiona Hotston Moore and Jon Dodge, accept instructions as single joint expert, party expert and shadow adviser. We can also provide valuation reports outside of formal proceedings to assist in negotiated settlements and mediation. Our experts are also instructed in business valuations in respect of commercial disputes, shareholder disputes and loss claims. In 2023 the government introduced significant changes to the tax regime applying to divorcing couples. The introduction of the new CGT rules on divorce was intended to remove CGT as being an obstacle for divorcing couples. We presented two webinars on the new CGT rules during 2023 which were attended by over 600 lawyers. We plan to run another webinar on the topic in spring 2024. 2023: a year in review 2023: The Chinese year of the rabbit...longevity, peace & prosperity... An overhaul of tax on divorce & another interesting year for business valuation experts
Real expertise. Real results. 2023: a year in review
As we look forward to 2024 we are expecting the volatile economy to continue. In addition to a general election in 2024 we have the ongoing challenges arising from conflict, inflationary price increases, falling consumer demand and interest rates remaining relatively high. The volatility of the economy means that business fortunes can change quickly and we expect to be asked to prepare updating reports to reflect recent trading results. We appreciate your continued support in 2023 and look forward to continuing to work with you in 2024. In the Chinese horoscope, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon which is said to be one of the luckiest years, promising change, opportunities and wealth.
Whatever the nature of the case, we ensure our opinions clearly reflect our experience and are relevant, understandable, credible, informed and cost effective.
