Why training matters

We strongly believe that training and the improvement of skills are the keys to being an effective expert witness. The most effective business development technique any expert can pursue is to generate positive word of mouth and repeat business.

Expert witnessing is often a “one strike and you are out” proposition. If an expert performs poorly on a case, word spreads — and one bad performance all too often becomes a career-ender.

How we train

Our training focuses on improving your testifying and report writing skills and showing you how to avoid the pitfalls. We individualise our seminars: we request a CV, a sample report, and the problems a witness has run into before, then use those materials as the basis for mock-trial demonstrations. We will even research attendees online to show how that information can and will be used against you.
