Court testimony on an expert report

An expert report does not end when it is filed: it ends when it is defended. The hearing is where the expert appears, explains the conclusions and answers questions from the parties and the court.

What's included

• Preparation for the hearing and review of the report.
• Analysis of the opposing party's expert report, where there is one.
• Appearance before the court or the arbitral tribunal.
• Formal ratification of the report and responses to the parties' questions.
• Technical clarifications and any extensions requested at the hearing.

When you need it

• A hearing has been scheduled and the court has summoned the expert.
• The report has to be defended against a competing expert opinion.
• The arbitrator or the court has requested technical clarification in person.

How we work

We prepare the appearance with the party's lawyer and anticipate the lines of attack from the opposing expert.
