Single joint expert
We can provide single joint expert reports. This is appropriate where the matters in dispute are relatively simple or of a relatively modest value.
Commonly the court order that the fees in preparing the report are split equally between the parties to the dispute.
Party appointed expert
For disputes of greater complexity and of a larger value, it may be more appropriate to have experts appointed for each of the parties to the dispute.
We can provide party appointed expert witness reports, attend expert meetings and provide verbal evidence.
