OUR STORY
A better way to find and brief expert witnesses
As a lawyer, I created ExpertsDirect out of the belief that lawyers should have options when it comes to securing the sort of expert witnesses that will give them the best chance of a successful outcome.
You also have to make sure that:
- You find the right experts
- Your experts are briefed properly and fully understand their duties to the court
- An expert report is properly formatted for admissibility, based wholly or substantially on specialised knowledge, and contains no typos or grammatical errors
- Your expert presents well in court
We all have packed schedules and heavy workloads, and often need to find experts at the last minute. Understandably, these time constraints lead to searching for experts via Google and passing emails around the office—far from optimal sources.
With ExpertsDirect, our goal is to procure highly qualified experts, save you time and energy, and make your life and job easier. Ultimately, you’ll get the peace of mind that comes with having a team who understands all of the legal and professional requirements surrounding the expert witness process. Since ExpertsDirect was founded in 2013, we have systemised our approach to providing experts to ensure that our clients build the strongest possible case:
- Expert Hunting
- Case Management
- Quality Assurance
- Expert Witness Training
We’ve spent years building our extensive panel of thousands of tried and tested experts whom we’ve briefed in a legal capacity, as well as the infrastructure that ensures an optimal outcome with zero hassles.
