Questions

What people ask before they start.

Can you act as an expert witness in our proceedings?

Where the questions are within my expertise and there's no conflict, yes. I confirm both before accepting, and prepare the report to the forum's rules, such as CPR Part 35 in England and Wales.

Do you contract with our firm or with our client?

Either, agreed in writing at the start. Invoicing follows that choice.

Can you review documents within our platform?

Yes, where access is arranged. The protocol, volume and timetable are agreed first.
