Expert Witness Services for Law Firms

We provide expert testimony in Federal and State courts across Australia, including the Federal Court, Supreme Courts, District Courts, and various tribunals. We also support matters in international jurisdictions.

Yes. Our reports comply with the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules and include the required expert witness declaration and code of conduct acknowledgment. We're familiar with court requirements across Australian jurisdictions.

An expert witness provides independent opinion to assist the court and may give testimony. A consulting expert advises the legal team behind the scenes and is not disclosed. We offer both services depending on your needs.

Our duty is to the court, not to a party. If findings don't support your position, we tell you early so you can adjust strategy. This independence is what makes expert testimony credible and protects against adverse findings at trial.

Yes. We analyse opposing expert reports for methodology flaws, unsupported conclusions, and technical errors. We provide written critique and can address deficiencies in our own testimony.

We charge hourly rates for expert witness work, with estimates provided upfront based on anticipated scope. Report preparation, conference attendance, and testimony are billed separately. Court attendance includes waiting time.

We prefer 4+ weeks notice for scheduled testimony to ensure availability and adequate preparation. We understand litigation timelines shift—we're flexible and will accommodate where possible.

Yes. We attend alongside solicitors, barristers, trustees in bankruptcy, and court-appointed officials to provide expert forensic support during execution of Anton Piller orders, search warrants, and seizure warrants. This includes identifying and securing electronic devices, creating forensic images with verified chain of custody, and subsequently analysing seized data for relevant evidence. We document all actions contemporaneously and can provide testimony on our methodology and findings.
