Expert Witness Services

Our Court of Protection experts regularly advise litigation solicitors concerning the likely Court of Protection and Deputyship costs of an individual in personal injury and clinical negligence proceedings.

Our experts act for both claimant and defendant solicitors in providing a report or witness statement concerning Court of Protection and Deputyship costs, attending joint discussions, conferences and trial where necessary.
