Richard Edwards, Principal Solicitor of Richard Edwards & Co Solicitors, Liverpool, specialists in serious and catastrophic injury claims, will share his expert insight and extensive practical experience on how courts weigh expert evidence, and how instructing parties assess the credibility of the expert they engage.

What makes an expert witness someone solicitors and clients return to time and again?

In this insightful session, Richard will explore the procedural landscape in which expert witnesses operate and demonstrate how a strong understanding of the legal framework can help build confidence and trust with those who instruct them.

Drawing on practical experience, Richard will examine the role and value of conferences with lawyers, before exploring effective interactions with instructing parties throughout the lifecycle of a case. He will share strategies for navigating these key touchpoints professionally and confidently, helping experts strengthen relationships, enhance their credibility and add greater value to the litigation process.

By focusing on these critical areas, attendees will gain practical insights into how expert witnesses can become trusted, respected and sought-after professionals, ultimately building their reputation, securing repeat instructions and developing a successful expert witness practice.
