What This Service Covers

  • Review of opposing expert quantum reports and identification of methodological or arithmetical weaknesses.
  • Financial strategy advice on quantum, assumptions, and areas for joint statement discussion.
  • Counsel briefing on financial and actuarial issues for trial or settlement.
  • Support on Part 36 offer strategy where quantum is central to valuation.

When You Need This

  • Proceedings where solicitors need financial analytical support without a formal expert report.
  • Second opinion on an existing quantum report before exchange or trial.
  • Early case assessment of likely quantum range for reserve-setting or negotiation.

Our Approach

  1. Review of pleadings, schedules, and disclosed financial documents.
  2. Analysis of opposing or claimant quantum positions.
  3. Advisory memorandum or counsel briefing note as agreed in scope.
  4. Ongoing support through expert exchange, joint meetings, and trial if instructed.

Opposing Expert Report Review

We review claimant or defendant quantum schedules and opposing expert reports for methodological errors, unsupported assumptions, arithmetical mistakes, and areas vulnerable to cross-examination. Output may be an advisory memorandum for the legal team rather than a formal court report, depending on instruction.

CPR Part 35 Compliance

Where a formal expert report is instructed, the same CPR Part 35 standards apply. Advisory work is scoped separately and does not replace court-compliant expert evidence where proceedings require it.

Under CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction 35, the expert's duty is to the court. Reports must state qualifications, instructions, facts, assumptions, methodology, opinion, conclusions, and contain a statement of truth. Where proceedings are in the family court, FPR Part 25 applies to expert evidence.
