A professional and independent fairness opinion is critical for the well-being of independent board members, trustees, and minority shareholders during a merger and acquisition, sale of a business or any transaction where there maybe conflicts of interest amongst any significant owners and other shareholders. While it is often thought that fairness opinions are only for transactions involving larger companies, private and public companies of any size which have outside, and minority shareholders should commission a fairness opinion anytime there is a transaction which involves the sale of equity to either third parties or controlling shareholders.

In today’s litigious environment, no board or fiduciary should proceed with a significant transaction without an independent and objective point-of-view about the fairness of the transaction to all the shareholders. The benefit of knowing that the terms and price are fair can make an enormous difference in gaining the support of both independent directors as well as outside shareholders.
