Land contamination and geotechnical risks are complex and sometimes issues arise where expert input is required to fully understand issues and identify if and where errors may have occurred. Expert reporting and expert witness services can be engaged early stage in a dispute ideally to resolve issues before progressing to more formal legal action. Expert Witnesses have specific duties which differ from the standard consultancy, albeit the technical issues are often quite commonly encountered.

We have a panel of experts with the qualifications, track record and experience to provide expert witness services in relation to land contamination, waste and geotechnical issues. Prior to any appointment for expert services, we would look to fully assess the capabilities and suitability of our proposed expert against the likely requirements of the specific issue in contention. Our experts have previously worked on disputes relating to pollution incidents and spills, adequacy of remediation and claims of personal injury relating to contaminant releases including high profile litigation with significant press attention.
