Pharma & Life Sciences expert witnesses
Rigorous scientific and regulatory expertise for pharmaceutical and life-sciences matters.
Request a pharma & life sciences expertFew sectors carry more technical and regulatory weight. We work with experts whose backgrounds span clinical research, manufacturing, pharmacovigilance and regulatory affairs, able to give evidence that withstands close scrutiny.
In pharma & life sciences, 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 pharma & life sciences 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 Pharma & Life Sciences expert witness do?
A Pharma & Life Sciences expert witness gives independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on specialist issues within pharma & life sciences. 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 Pharma & Life Sciences 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 Pharma & Life Sciences experts?
We select on substance — relevant qualifications, genuine pharma & life sciences 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 your experts cover clinical trials and pharmacovigilance?
Yes. We work with experts whose backgrounds span clinical trial design and conduct, drug safety and pharmacovigilance, and regulatory affairs across the major frameworks.
