BVR is extremely pleased to announce that veteran valuation expert Jim Alerding, CPA/ABV (Alerding Consulting LLC), has joined us as legal editor. Jim will draw on his extensive appraisal and litigation experience to review and analyze all new business valuation-related court cases to be included in BVR’s BVLaw platform. He will also offer his perspective and commentary on the cases and other litigation-related matters. Jim worked closely with BVR’s former legal editor, Sylvia Golden, Esq., who passed away recently. Together, they did a regular webinar on BV-related court cases, and Jim will continue that tradition (the next BVLaw Case Update webinar is scheduled for September 22).

A highly respected valuation expert, author, and teacher, Jim has performed over 1,000 valuations and has testified over 400 times during his long career. In his current practice, he consults with business valuation professionals on a wide range of appraisal and litigation projects. Jim is a former member of the AICPA’s Business Valuation Committee and is the co-author of VS 100, which is the AICPA’s Statement on Standards for Valuation Services. He is in the AICPA’s Business Valuation Hall of Fame, and he is on the Editorial Advisory Board of BVR’s Business Valuation Update. He is a co-author of Financial Valuation: Applications and Models and has written or co-written four other books on business valuation-related topics.

BVR is very fortunate to have Jim with us, and we look forward to sharing his unique insights with readers.
