In any complex business transaction, the financial drivers and risks should always be front and center. And with growing economic uncertainty, volatility, and litigation risk, it’s more important than ever to get things right when doing M&A deals, restructurings and recapitalizations, spin-offs and divestitures, and dividends. Fairness and solvency opinions are a key part of “getting things right” and in protecting directors and officers from personal liability and reputational risk if a transaction goes sideways.
