Expert Witness Services
Our Court of Protection team can provide expert witness statements on various aspects of personal injury or clinical negligence claims, such as capacity, Deputyship, costs, and Statutory Wills.
We can act for Claimants, Defendants, or as a single joint expert. This means that we can provide our expert opinion on behalf of either party in a dispute, or we can be appointed by both parties to produce a neutral and independent report.
To find out about how we can help, call us on 0161 330 6821, fill in our online form or email bromleys@bromleys.co.uk and we’ll call you back.
