The first step is to determine the specific expertise required for a particular case. This is done in collaboration with the client (usually a law firm or an attorney), who provides information on the case, the issues involved, and the type of expert needed.

Our research team begins by conducting a thorough investigation of potential candidates. This can include searching through databases, professional associations, academic institutions, and online resources. We also rely on our existing network of experts to identify potential new candidates.

Next, we conduct an in-depth evaluation of the shortlisted candidates. This involves reviewing their academic and professional backgrounds, publications, and previous expert witness experience. We also verify their credentials and contact references to gather additional insights into their expertise and communication skills.

Once we have thoroughly evaluated the potential experts, we conduct interviews with the most promising candidates. These interviews help us assess their ability to effectively communicate complex information to a non-expert audience and gauge their overall fit for the case. We may also discuss case-specific details to ensure they have a clear understanding of the issues involved.

After completing the evaluation and background check, we select the best-suited expert for the case. We then present our findings and recommendations to the client, who makes the final decision on whether to retain the expert for their case.
