In this first episode of our series on litigation readiness, we take a close look at the role of experts – those with knowledge around a specific area that can be used to help a court or legal body make a more accurate judgement about a topic or issue. Our in-house experts, Steve Wilkinson and Mavis Tan, give you an inside look into how experts approach disputes, the growing importance of data analysis, and why you should always engage an expert earlier rather than later.
