With shareholder litigation an ever-increasing threat, corporate boards are more reluctant than ever to approve mergers and acquisitions without first obtaining an independent fairness or solvency opinion.

During acquisitions, many businesses pay their investment banks to provide fairness opinions, but regulators or courts may later consider their opinions invalid because of an actual or perceived conflict of interest.

To avoid a conflict or the perception of conflict, businesses are increasingly seeking a second opinion from an independent third party with no connection to the transaction.
