Experienced Practitioners Engaging as Expert Witnesses in Court

Here at Charteris, we have a strong team of IT expert witnesses.

Our many years of involvement in IT, combined with our experience of acting in the largest and most challenging IT cases, give us the deep knowledge of the language, procedures and the landscape that is essential to effective witness services. We have experience of working outside the UK and with the complexity of international procedures.

Over time, we have built up a portfolio of techniques, skills and experience that we deploy to address project disputes, intellectual property disputes and other disputes where an IT issue requires expert evidence.

For IT project disputes we can apply retrospective delay analysis to attribute delay between customer and supplier;

We can analyse the governance, process and technical causes of project failures.
For intellectual property disputes, we can provide an independent assessment of the fit between software licence agreements and a desired IT architecture;

We can compare designs and architecture down to software code from multiple sources to assess the likelihood of software copyright infringement through plagiarism.
Our deep understanding of the interplay between complex technical, commercial and legal issues enables us to uncover important arguments and supporting evidence that might otherwise be missed.  

We have a strong in-house style that places emphasis on early clear communications and a rigorously balanced approach.
