Tasks may include document review, electronic discovery (ediscovery), expert witness services, case analysis, and trial preparation. Litigation support professionals provide the specialised assistance required to handle increasingly complex lawsuits.

Why is Litigation Important in the Construction Industry?

Construction projects must adhere to the National Construction Code and other legal standards. However, defects or breaches of these regulations can lead to disputes.

What is an Expert Witness?

An expert witness is a specialist who provides independent, objective analysis and testimony in legal proceedings. In construction disputes, an expert witness is often a quantity surveyor or industry expert who can offer professional opinions on matters such as cost estimations, contract compliance, or building defects. Their role is to help clarify complex issues for the court and assist in resolving disputes.

Why is an Expert Witness Important?

An expert witness is crucial because they provide specialised knowledge that can be pivotal to the success of a case.
