What is a commercial dispute expert witness?

A commercial dispute expert witness is an independent forensic accountant or financial expert instructed to provide a court-admissible opinion on quantum, valuation or financial misconduct. Unlike litigation support behind the scenes, the expert's primary duty is to the court under CPR Part 35 - whether appointed as a single joint expert or by one party alone.

Commercial litigation and arbitration turn on credible damages models, clear methodology and sector-aware analysis. Read how to instruct or browse case types for your matter.
