Expert Witness Support
- Do you require independent technical expertise in legal cases?
- Require scientific, technical or specialized knowledge to aid settling a dispute?
- Seeking support to communicate facts clearly to the jury?
Disputes of a commercial or legal basis occur from time to time in the ingredient supply, manufacturing and retail areas of the food supply chain. It is important to ensure that impartial expert advice is sought as soon as possible.
In many cases with the right support claims can be settled out of court, saving time and money.

Offering a range of support in the event of a dispute between your business and a supplier or customer. These include: pre-case assessment of viability of claim; review of evidence, drafting of report; telecoms to discuss case and report; meeting with joint expert and submission of joint report; attendance in court (if required).
