Experts play a crucial role in construction disputes, but the intricacies involved in their role are not always understood by all in involved in a matter. On Wednesday 8 July at 2pm (BST), Secretariat Managing Director and expert George Taft will join a cast of leading speakers from construction and law for a discussion of the role of the expert witness. Presented as part of Limeslade’s Construction Cast series, the discussion will address a number of topics, including:
– Why should people use an expert witness in the resolution of a dispute?
– How can you find the right expert for your dispute?
– How should an expert prepare for cross examination?
– What are common mistakes experts make and how can they be avoided?
