Key Quotes:
“The different premises of value that you’ll probably see as an attorney are going concern, value in use, highest & best use, in-use/in exchange, and liquidation.” – Mark S. Gottlieb
“In an orderly liquidation, the assets are sold within a reasonable time to maximize value. In a forced liquidation, the assets are sold quickly, almost like an auction style.” – Mark S. Gottlieb
