Alway Associates - Expert Witnesses
Expert Witnesses, in any discipline, are appointed as individuals rather than as a firm or practice. Within Alway Associates, several of our Directors, Associate Directors and Senior Consultants have acted as Expert Witnesses in both litigation and arbitration.
Our Directors, Associate Directors and Senior Consultants are able to undertake appointments as Expert Witnesses in connection with:
- quantum
- delay and disruption
- planning and programming
- quantity surveying practice and procedure
- contract administration
- professional negligence
- valuation of insurance claims
and in the following industry sectors:
- building, new and refurbishment, traditional and design and build
- civil engineering, roads and bridges, heavy reinforced concrete, bulk earthworks, rivers and canals
- water, civil and process engineering
- mechanical and electrical
- rail
- housing
The special blend of experience in construction and legal proceedings that all our Expert Witnesses have makes them ideally suited to undertake such appointments. The requirements of the Civil Procedure Rules in respect of litigation and the Arbitration Act 1996 has resulted in less experienced practitioners falling foul of the strict rules and procedures that apply and, sadly, others continue to do so. Through our rigorous internal programme of continuous development and training, our experts are kept fully appraised of all such developments.
Alway Associates recognise the importance of having an Expert Witness who is suitably qualified and experienced to give evidence of opinion relevant to the matters he or she is instructed to address. For this reason, we ask that those instructing such experts provide us with details of the matters in question in order that we can ensure that the Expert Witness (or Witnesses) that we propose is suitable for the dispute.
All of our staff who act as Expert Witnesses operate a strict policy of not accepting appointments that they consider to be outside of their area of expertise.
