Test Page – Expert Witness

It is often hugely valuable to introduce the perspective of a recognised expert when building a credible case in a legal forum. Technical aspects of an argument may be put in context, explained to judges in tribunals and civil actions, or simplified for juries while under examination in criminal proceedings.

The breadth and depth of experience offered by our Partners and Consultants at Buchler Phillips regularly makes us uniquely qualified to be included as part of the litigation team. Our expert team of Chartered Accountants and Licensed Insolvency Practitioners is able to bring considerable expertise and concise insight gained from many years of working in this area for:

Publicly listed companies
Privately owned companies
Private Equity and Venture Capital investors
Banks and lenders
Pension Funds and other institutional investors
Hedge Funds
Family Offices
