The answers will not only enlighten our next issue—but will also inform the presentation by Ron Seigneur, Jim Hitchner, and Michelle Gallagher at NACVA’s 2008 Fifteenth Annual Consultants’ Conference at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, June 8 – 11.  These three experts kick off this year’s “Superconference” with their session on “Practical Tips for Building a Business Valuation, Forensic, Litigation Support Practice.”  For registration information and the full conference agenda, aptly titled Rising to the Top of Your Game in Valuation and Financial Forensics, click here.
