Technical Support for Legal Teams

An embedded technical resource

Evidence-heavy technology matters rarely need expertise only at the end, in a single report. They need it woven through the case, from first review of the papers to preparation for trial. We work alongside legal teams as an embedded technical resource, giving counsel a standing point of reference for the technology at the centre of the dispute.

This support is distinct from the role of expert of record and can sit behind the scenes, so that the independence of any testifying expert is preserved.

Making sense of disclosure

Technical disclosure is often voluminous and impenetrable to a non-specialist. We help legal teams interpret source code, logs, technical documents and data, distinguish what is significant from what is noise, and understand how the material bears on the issues in dispute.

Preparing for experts and cross-examination

We help counsel scope and draft the questions put to experts on both sides, stress-test the opposing expert’s reasoning, and prepare for the cross-examination of technical witnesses. Knowing which technical questions to ask, and what a given answer really means, can be decisive at trial.

Translating technology for the court

Whether in written submissions, skeletons or hearing preparation, we help translate complex technology into clear, accurate explanations a court can follow, so the legal strategy always rests on a sound technical footing.
