Goodwill Valuation
California eminent domain law allows business owners to recover lost business goodwill when a public agency condemns their property. Central to this process is an assessment of compensable goodwill loss, taking into consideration such factors as fair market value, mitigation, and duplication of benefits, as well as other factors identified and supported by thorough research and analysis.
