Watch now: LIDW21 webinar: Expert witnesses: status, independence, duties and conflicts

This webinar was co-hosted with 4 Pump Court, Keating Chambers, Secretariat and Three Crowns LLP and was part of London International Disputes Week (LIDW). 

Experts have been described as “simply vehicles by which the parties reargue the facts”. Is this right?

What is the status of an expert witness in the modern disputes world? Are they independent, what are their duties, and where can conflicts arise?

Moderated by partner, Ben Giaretta, the speakers included:

• Adam Constable QC, Keating Chambers
• Don Harvey, Secretariat
• Lynne McCafferty QC, 4 Pump Court
• Todd Wetmore, Three Crowns LLP
