IT & Technology expert witnesses
Independent technical evidence for software, data, cyber and IT-project disputes.
Request a it & technology expertTechnology disputes often fail or succeed on whether the court understands what actually happened. We provide experts in software, infrastructure, data and cyber security who can produce clear, defensible analysis of complex systems.
In it & technology, the difference between a strong case and a weak one often comes down to whether the expert truly understands the sector. Generalist opinion rarely survives scrutiny on specialist questions, and a tribunal gives little weight to evidence that misreads how it & technology actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a IT & Technology expert witness do?
A IT & Technology expert witness gives independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on specialist issues within it & technology. The overriding duty is to the court, not to the instructing party. That opinion typically takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a IT & Technology expert?
As early as the issues become clear. Instructing early helps you weigh the strengths and weaknesses of a case, scope the evidence proportionately, and avoid a rushed report against a looming deadline.
How do you choose your IT & Technology experts?
We select on substance — relevant qualifications, genuine it & technology experience, and an understanding of an expert's duties in litigation and arbitration. Where an expert has limited experience of giving evidence, we say so.
Do you handle failed IT projects and cyber incidents?
Yes. We work with experts in software development and project delivery, and in cyber security and digital forensics, who can produce clear, defensible analysis of complex technical events.
