Z. Christopher Mercer, FASA, CFA, ABAR is speaking online in the upcoming webinar of the American Society of Appraisers on October 25th at 12 pm CDT. The two-hour live event will award two CE/CPE hours and is specially designed for business appraisers, business owners, and attorneys involved in the drafting or execution of buy-sell agreements.
Chris will co-present with ASA member Jeffrey S. Tarbell on the topic of “Valuation Provisions in Buy-Sell Agreements.” Both Chris and Jeff will share their decades of experience and explore the various types of buy-sell agreements; commonly-encountered pricing mechanisms and processes; and valuable “practice points” designed to avoid confusion and conflict, and increase the opportunity for a reasonable, timely, and cost-effective resolution.
