Our mission is to assist our instructing solicitors in their objective of helping resolve disputes on behalf of their clients, or alternatively providing advice ahead of such disputes potentially developing.
We recognise that it is important for expert witness services to be provided in a cost-effective and proportionate manner, and hence we ensure that all our work is tailored to achieve the client’s requirements.
Crowe’s dedicated expert witness team is led by Chris Hine and Martin Chapman. Both are Partners with significant experience in the field and are committed to providing the highest levels of client advice and support through all stages of a case.
Our role can vary according to the requirements of each individual case. We can act as adviser, assist within the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process as well as acting as an expert witness.
Where expert evidence is required, we will produce reports compliant with all relevant legal and professional requirements, recognising our overarching duty is to the Court, and underpinned by the quality of our analysis and explanations to provide compelling testimony.
Typical areas that the expert witness team work on include:
Instructions can be accepted on behalf of either claimant or defendant or as a Single Joint Expert.
In addition to the above areas, which relate to litigation and arbitration, we also offer assistance in relation to expert determination proceedings. We have considerable experience both as advisers to the parties, and of acting as the expert determining the dispute. Chris Hine’s recent experience includes an expert determination involving over sixty companies and eight jurisdictions.
