Expert evidence in litigation - Cardiff

Who Should Attend?

The Cardiff & District Law Society, St John’s Commercial team and Milsted Langdon are hosting a face-to-face seminar that will explore the use of expert evidence in commercial dispute litigation. It will look at recent case-law relating to the use of expert evidence as well as looking at ways that expert evidence can be challenged both before and during trial. A role play between a barrister and a forensic accountant/expert will attempt to illustrate how to challenge expert evidence and how the challenges can be countered.

This seminar is for all litigation professionals interested in expert evidence. It will have a commercial/chancery bias given those doing the talks, but may be of interest to those practising outside that area who commission, use or have a general interest in expert evidence.

Topics include:

• The effective use of expert evidence, James Pearce-Smith, Head of Company and Commercial
• Expert witnesses and privilege, Natasha Dzameh, Deputy Head of Commercial
• The cross-examination of expert accountancy witnesses – a demonstration, Roger Isaacs, Forensic Partner, Milsted Langdon & Charlie Newington-Bridges, Deputy Head of Commercial team

There will be an opportunity to put questions to our panel of experts.

Registration is from 4.30pm, with the seminar starting at 5.00pm and finishing at 6.20pm with drinks and canapes.
