All their experts have a genuine interest in providing their expert opinion to assist the courts in the assessment of personal injury and clinical negligence claims.

 

Simon Berney-Edwards, CEO of the Expert Witness Institute, said: “We are pleased to confirm Pain Expert Limited’s status as one of our Corporate Partners. They are already working closely with another Corporate Partner (Applied Psychology Solutions) for them to jointly deliver training for the Expert Witness Community and we are delighted to have them on board as one of our Corporate Partners.”

 

Dr Jon Valentine, Managing Director and Consultant in Pain Medicine, said, “Pain Expert Limited are delighted to become an EWI Corporate Partner advancing our relationship with the Expert Witness Institute. It highlights our shared commitment to ensuring that expert witnesses are highly skilled in order to provide the best possible assistance and value to the courts.
