Nigel Jones, Expert Witness
Mr. Jones believes that a successful expert relationship rests on three elements: a strong working relationship with client and counsel; extensive preparation and background work consistent with best engineering practices; and an ability to convey or demonstrate complex concepts in terms that can be understood by laypersons, but that provide a sound scientific basis for drawing legal conclusions.
Conflicts of Interest
On the assumption that the issue under contention falls within our domain of expertise, then the first step will be determining if there are any actual or potential conflicts of interest. To ensure the utmost probity we will contact counsel we have worked with in the past if there is even the slightest degree of overlap.

Expert Reports
We are usually retained to produce an expert report, the scope of which is spelled out in the retention agreement. Our reports are carefully put together, so as to present the evidence, analysis and conclusions in as a clear and as concise a manner as possible.
Trial
If the case proceeds through deposition and trial, then we are frequently called upon to help prepare counsel for the deposition and cross examination of opposing witnesses.
