SAN FRANCISCO -- Just months after announcing its global valuation practice, Andersen, the fastest-growing independent, multidisciplinary professional services firm in the world, has expanded its valuation coverage to more than 16 countries throughout Europe. It has added 14 new groups in Europe in the last 12 months alone.

Andersen’s global valuation team works with companies, funds, high-net-worth individuals and family offices to provide valuations of businesses, tangible and intangible assets, and complex securities for tax, financial reporting, and transaction advisory purposes. Andersen clients span a range of industries with diverse valuation needs around the globe.

“Valuation is a significant area of growth for Andersen and Europe is one of our fastest growing regions as we expand our Global Valuation Practice to serve our clients wherever they do business,” said Mark L. Vorsatz, global chairman and CEO of Andersen.

The strategic development of Andersen’s valuation platform began with the addition of valuation capabilities in Romania in 2022 and the United Kingdom in early 2023. Andersen formally launched its global valuation practice last fall with the intent of becoming a Top 5 valuation firm in the world within the next two years.

“Our expansion of the Andersen platform across Europe reflects our clients’ growing needs for best-in-class, independent valuation resources wherever they do business,” said Sid Luckenbach, managing director of Andersen’s global valuation practice. “Our valuation professionals are independent and bring deep industry experience and a shared commitment to excellence.”
