Logistics expert witnesses
Supply-chain, freight and warehousing expertise for commercial and contractual disputes.
Request a logistics expertLogistics disputes hinge on how goods, data and contracts move through a chain. We provide experts in freight, warehousing, customs and supply-chain operations who can pinpoint where liability and loss actually sit.
In logistics, 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 logistics actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.
What instructing through us looks like
Tell us the issues, the forum and your timeline. We check fit, availability and conflicts, then send a short, honest shortlist. You review CVs and speak with the expert before instructing — the instruction and fees are agreed directly between you and the expert, on your terms. New to the process?

FAQ
Common questions
What does a Logistics expert witness do?
A Logistics expert witness gives independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on specialist issues within logistics. 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 Logistics 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 Logistics experts?
We select on substance — relevant qualifications, genuine logistics 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 cover freight, warehousing and customs disputes?
Yes. We work with experts across freight forwarding, warehousing and fulfilment, and customs and trade compliance, able to trace where liability and loss arise in a supply chain.
