Expert Witness & Dispute Resolution

Expert witness and dispute advisory

Expert witnesses can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to a situation that could otherwise be tricky to defuse or resolve. When a dispute arises concerning an engineering or environmental situation, it can lead to stalemate between the two parties. If one party suggests there is an issue and the other says there are no concerns, finding a way forward can seem almost impossible. Introduce litigation into the proceedings, and the situation can seem even harder to resolve. Hence why Water Treatment Services provides access to expert witnesses and a full range of dispute advisory services. If you’re faced with a complicated situation involving a potential claim or failure to resolve a dispute, contact us today to find out how we can help.

• Learn more about the role of the expert witness

Which topic areas do our expert witnesses cover?

We can supply an experienced professional acting as an expert witness on many diverse topics within our specialist fields of activity:

• Industrial and process water treatment including closed systems, steam generation, cooling and filtration
• Water engineering and design
• Water safety, legionella control and regulatory compliance

In every case, our expert witnesses provide an independent and unbiased point of view, lending their expertise to the situation and considering all the available evidence. They can supply their expert opinion and create an expert report covering the dispute concerned.

Delivering a clear and experienced view

An expert witness acts from an independent and unbiased point of view. This means they have no allegiance to either party involved in the dispute – only to the facts of the situation. Supported by years of experience and qualifications in their field, our expert witnesses can also appear as part of a court case, should the court allow it. In this case, our experts can often help move towards a resolution if the dispute does reach a courtroom. They can also assist in tribunals and arbitrations between the two parties if relevant.

Clarifying technical issues, providing evidence, and supplying expert opinion

It’s important to understand the impartial role an expert witness has in such situations. An expert witness is beholden to the facts of the case, rather than to any specific party involved in it. However, in gaining a better idea of the facts and their relevance to the dispute, an expert witness can bring a degree of knowledge to a situation that would not otherwise be present.
