Expert Witness 2012

In every type of hearing - civil, criminal, family, environmental, employment and any other court or tribunal - dealing with expert evidence is an extremely important skill.

This programme will concentrate entirely on working with expert witnesses. All experienced litigation lawyers will benefit as many of the techniques and issues involved apply to all expert evidence. Moreover, the case study used involves expert testimony on the valuation of a minority shareholder’s interest in a smallish business - a common issue of debate. The task of the expert valuers who will give evidence in the case is to place a value on the minority shareholding using generally accepted methods of valuation. The plaintiff’s and defendant’s experts have arrived at very different values!

Note that this 2012 programme has been extended from one-and-half days to two full days.
