What We Can Offer
Administration and Quality Control
You will be supported by our dedicated Casework Management team who offer end-to-end assistance with administrative tasks, from requesting relevant case papers to report proofreading and deadline management. This will free you up to dedicate your entire focus and attention to the science at hand.
Communication
You will be provided with one point of communication between yourself and the legal team. Our Casework Managers ensure that our Expert Witnesses receive documentation, records and data in good time, whilst also sifting through case bundles to save you time from the initial enquiry right through to court appearance.

Our dedicated marketing team ensure that we receive a steady flow of enquiries in key areas with controlled and targeted material. They help to raise awareness about your expertise and specialist services through regular news and events targeted at solicitors and barristers.
Finance
We employ robust finance processes which are in place to ensure that payments are made promptly for our experts’ services for all cases, including those funded by legal aid.
