Independent
Valuation
& Litigation
Support Advisory

We provide independent business valuation services for companies, shareholdings and business units, supporting transactions and restructurings.

Assignments typically arise in the context of full or partial disposals, shareholder transfers, mergers and demergers, internal reorganisations and fairness or reasonableness assessments. Our analyses are designed to assist investors, shareholders and legal advisors in understanding value, risk and deal structure.

Valuations are prepared using recognised valuation standards, financial and market methodologies, combining financial analysis, cash-flow modelling and sector research to deliver clear and well-supported conclusions suitable for negotiations, reporting or dispute prevention.

While most mandates are transactional or civil in nature, we also assist in litigation or insolvency contexts where business value is subject to challenge or scrutiny.

Ricerca provides independent technical expertise and valuation support in litigation, arbitration and contentious proceedings, acting both as court-appointed experts and as advisors to parties involved in disputes.

Our team has extensive experience in complex, high-stakes cases where valuation and technical matters are central to the outcome, including insurance claims, property damage and loss assessment, commercial and civil disputes, insolvency and enforcement proceedings, as well as criminal investigations requiring economic or asset analysis. We also assist in cross-border matters and successions involving assets located in Romania.

Reports are prepared to meet judicial standards of clarity, traceability and evidentiary rigor, with conclusions that can be defended under examination in court. Assignments often involve coordination with legal counsel, engineers and other technical specialists to address multidisciplinary issues.

By combining valuation expertise with procedural experience, we deliver opinions that are not only technically sound, but also legally robust and practical in a dispute context.

We provide independent project monitoring services for real estate developments during the construction phase, supporting lenders and investors in managing financial exposure and development risk.

Our work includes periodic site visits and progress reporting, verification of the physical stage of works, and assessment of compliance with the approved budget and construction schedule. We review drawdown requests in relation to actual progress and examine supporting documentation such as work statements, payment certificates, contracts and addenda.

Through this process, we identify technical or financial deviations at an early stage and provide a clear, objective overview of project evolution, reducing the risk of overfinancing, delays or uncontrolled cost overruns. Reports are structured to integrate efficiently into internal credit and risk monitoring frameworks.

Beyond formal valuation engagements, Ricerca provides independent advisory support to investors, lenders and public or private institutions throughout the lifecycle of real estate and operational assets.

We assist clients in making informed decisions prior to acquisition, development or repositioning, through feasibility studies, highest and best use analyses, market and rental studies, cost and budget reviews, and risk assessments. Our work frequently forms part of broader due diligence processes, offering an objective perspective without the conflicts typically associated with brokerage or intermediation roles.

Assignments also include purchase price allocation support, analysis of development scenarios, review of technical documentation and construction stages, as well as specialised studies required for public institutions or dispute-related matters, such as market rent determinations or independent technical opinions.

Our focus is practical and decision-oriented: clear analysis, realistic assumptions and conclusions that can be directly used in negotiations, investment approvals or strategic planning.
