Expert Witness and Due Diligence
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.

Testimonials
"Sarah is a passionate and enthusiastic professional with the skill to apply all that she experienced working for blue chip multinationals to the needs of smaller operators in the food chain. Not everyone can do this: individuals emerge from large outfits with a silo mentality and cannot relate to any operation with less than a $1billion turnover. Not so Sarah – with her pleasant smile and confident approach she will provide solutions to the smallest company’s biggest problems."
Richard Ratcliffe, President, Instutute of Food Science and Technology
