Expert Witness Provision

 

The WRM consultancy team has a depth of experience across a variety of project types in the waste, renewable energy, and agriculture sectors. Many of our Senior Consultancy team have more than 20 years’ experience in a variety of roles which provides the required credentials to act as expert witnesses in civil and criminal cases.

We can provide, explanation of sectoral/market regulatory regimes and management systems, benchmarking and examples, and genuine first-hand experience to provide robust evidence that withstands the scrutiny of a case.

Drawing upon this experience and expertise our team can provide a range of expert witness support including:

  • Written proofs of evidence.
  • Valuation and quantification evidence.
  • Rebuttal of evidence from dispute counterparties.
  • Establishing points of common ground with opposing witnesses (Statement of Common Ground).
  • Providing aural evidence under cross examination.

The nature of disputes naturally varies which results in variety of situations where the WRM team may be required to provide expert witness support. This includes:

  • Commercial disputes (e.g. derivative action).
  • Contract arbitration (e.g. dispute resolution procedure, termination).
  • Planning public enquiries.
  • Enforcement undertaking support.
  • Criminal/prosecution defence.

Matching the right expert to each case is a pre-requisite to WRM accepting any expert witness commissions and we welcome a discussion about your specific case and requirements.

Providing WRM with a statement of case (civil) or prosecution case summary (criminal) is a helpful first step in determining whether we can support your expert witness requirement.

Please get in touch to find out more and to discuss your requirement.
