What we do

Our commitment

We understand that clear, objective guidance and advice for legal teams and the Court is essential. With this in mind we offer a bespoke approach to medico-legal report writing and expert assistance throughout the duration of your case.

Costs and timing are more critical than ever, so we expect to work with instructing parties and gain a clear understanding of their needs from the outset of the case. We remain available for direct contact with our instructing solicitors, thus minimising procedural delays and ensuring good communication at all times.
