Expert Witness Services
With one of the most comprehensive expert networks available, we can support you with expert advice and expert witness support, both pre-litigation and once the dispute has commenced.
​
Our innovative model allows us to provide strategy advice, source the right expert to discuss each respective issue, and when necessary support that expert in the delivery of the report and with trial prep.
​
We also support the legal community with content. Our Insights blog helps you to identify areas where we see potential new litigation.
Litigation is a function of opacity (of contract) and losses. We are experts on finance and risk, and we use that knowledge to inform the legal community of potential litigation hotspots. If you are a legal professional or litigator, connect here for access to our forum.
