An expert’s report is a vital element
in litigation. It must be clear, succinct,
independent and well presented. An
excellent report is also one of the most
effective marketing tools that an expert
will have in their career. Reports are seen
by many professionals during litigation
and often new instructions are received
from opposition lawyers.

Many experts create their own report
writing style or adopt other people’s
generalised formats, having rarely
received constructive feedback from
lawyers on what is required from their
written evidence.

This course explores what lawyers and the
courts expect and require from an expert’s
report. You will be taught how to assess
your own and other experts’ reports.
Working with our model format and
techniques received during the training
you will be able to produce, quickly
and consistently, reports that are court
compliant and can withstand crossexamination.
