Digital distribution and streaming expert witnesses
Evidence on streaming, digital distribution and the economics of online media.
Request an expertStreaming and digital-distribution disputes require an understanding of platform economics, data and revenue models. Our experts explain how value flows through digital media to a court.
In media & entertainment, 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 media & entertainment 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 digital distribution and streaming expert witness do?
They give independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on digital distribution and streaming issues within media & entertainment, with an overriding duty to the court under CPR Part 35. The opinion usually takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a digital distribution and streaming expert?
As soon as the issues are clear. Early instruction helps you test the strengths and weaknesses of the case, scope the evidence proportionately and avoid a rushed report against a deadline.
How do you select experts for digital distribution and streaming matters?
On substance — relevant qualifications, genuine media & entertainment 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.
