Join experts Ken Pia and Ian Rusk for a deep dive into the recent ESOP case decision involving the Department of Labor, a Hawaii-based ESOP company (Bowers & Kubota), the ESOP’s trustee, and selling shareholders. Many key valuation issues and standards were addressed through expert testimony and later in the district court’s decision. The expert witnesses for the defense will walk the participants through each phase of the case through the trial and court’s decision.
