Expert Witness Services

Expert evidence can be a valuable component of dispute resolution; both in advising a party and their legal team about technical issues and through technical analysis and opinion, in assisting the court to understand the technical issues, and thereby reach a sound and just decision.

Our approach to expert witness work echoes the values we apply to everything we do. We are thorough in getting to know those instructing us and the scope of the case, whilst recognising and maintaining the independence required of an expert in court proceedings. Our expert witnesses are experienced practicing professionals in their fields who are skilled in presenting their opinions in writing and in court.

Our areas of expertise are:

• Divorce (tax and financial planning)
• Professional negligence
• Valuation

We can offer the opportunity of a free meeting to discuss the case and the suitability of one of our team to act as an expert witness. We are thorough in getting to know you and your case, so we can agree a clear approach where your expectations are aligned with ours. This may involve us reviewing papers and producing commentary on our approach and how we expect to formulate the opinions we are to give in evidence. With an agreed course of action in place, we will produce a full report, compliant with any relevant procedure rules, which will substantiate and deliver clear expert opinions.

We can offer you our expertise on a time basis, with hourly or day-based fees communicated at the outset. We can also be chargeable on an agreed flat rate basis if that is your preference.
