Expert witness services

Six services that will change your outcome

Once a litigation process starts, you may end up in court despite your best attempts at settlement. That’s when an expert witness providing independent, robust and clear opinions can be very important to the outcome of your case. 

You need an expert who can understand the particulars of your claim as well as the complexities of contentious issues such as loss of profits, wasted expenditure, contractual disputes, professional negligence and contingent loss claims. 

At BDO our expert witnesses have provided expert opinion in more than 200 cases.

Supporting them is a team of specialists who combine forensic accounting and investigative skills with backgrounds in a range of sectors and industries. 

Our team works in collaboration with BDO International so that we can support you before international arbitration tribunals and across jurisdictions, if needed.

Areas where we can help you include:

• Analysing complex financial issues
• Opining on UK or international financial reporting standards
• Quantifying loss and damages, including cartel/competition and compulsory purchase order cases
• Valuing businesses or shareholdings
• Opining on liability in accountants’ negligence claims
• Extracting electronic information and complying with electronic discovery orders
