Annual Conference 2023

Webinar

12 May 2023

9:30AM - 4:45PM

EWI's Online Conference brings together expert witnesses, solicitors, barristers and eminent judges to discuss the key issues facing the expert community.

This conference is aimed at:

  • New Experts looking to develop their understanding of key issues
  • Experienced Experts looking to develop their practice
  • Those who work with or instruct Experts

As Expert Witnesses come continual scrutiny in the courts, this year’s conference will provide essential insight and practical advice to help you further develop your knowledge and skills, get instructed, and win repeat business. We will hear from senior members of the judiciary, solicitors, and experienced experts as we reflect on important legal updates and ethical issues and  consider what instructing parties are looking for. You will also be able to participate in a range of practical interactive sessions and discussions which will enable you to reflect on your practice.
