Forensic Accounting expert

“

The whole event was a highlight—truly exceptional. Every speaker and panellist was engaging and what a privilege it was to have Justice Cheeseman and former Chief Justice Bathurst present.”“

Senior Litigation Expert

“

As a doctor, it was very helpful to hear feedback from lawyers. Similarly, understanding the challenges in interprofessional interactions was insightful. The cross-examination was particularly engaging and entertaining! I’d love to attend future events.”

Medical Expert Witness

“

The event itself was a highlight, as there is very little training on expert witness roles.”

Construction Expert Witness

“

The range of topics and viewpoints covered in such a short time was exceptional.” 

Mining Expert Witness

“

Ian Freckleton was absolutely outstanding. A partial focus on (1) what action various organisations might take to further help isolate and discourage experts from acting as hired guns; and (2) whether the use of court appointed experts as facilitators might improve the output of conclaves.”

The keynote was terrific and something we’d love to roll out to our broader team.”

Construction Expert

“

Coming from an expert OT background, I really enjoyed hearing a lawyer and judge’s perspective on expert witness opinion/testimony. Definitely helped me refine how and what information I will include, or more importantly omit from my reports.”
