Practical Tips for Getting the Best Value from your Expert in Dispute Resolution

Stephen Tennant, an Expert Witness, chartered quantity surveyor and civil engineer, delivered a comprehensive presentation on the role and importance of expert witnesses in legal proceedings, emphasizing their neutrality and independence while discussing various expert roles and challenges.

The presentation also covered the importance of flexibility in time and costs, the strategic use of visual aids, and the differences between US and England & Wales (and therefore many Commonwealth jurisdictions) legal systems regarding expert communications.
