Finding the right expert

Law firms looking for financial sector expert witnesses face a number of challenges in identifying the right expert in a specialised discipline, checking conflicts, developing a shortlist of suitable candidates on a discreet basis and assessing individuals’ strengths and weaknesses and prior track records.

Our experience – as experts ourselves and from working with our associates over an extended period – normally enables us to propose one or more candidates whom we consider the best equipped to address specific issues.

When specialised industry experience is required, our network enables us to identify new experts who will not appear in the usual directories and websites.

Our inhouse team provides wrap around support for experts who are engaged, assisting them with research and presentation, reviewing their draft and final reports and helping prepare them for the various stages of a dispute, including cross-examination.
