How we support counsel
Early case assessment
A confidential technical view of the facts as a consulting expert, before positions harden.

Independent by design
- Conflict check first. Before discussing the merits, we check for conflicts with the parties and related companies, including our own business relationships, and decline any matter where one exists.
- Engaged through counsel, under a written engagement agreement.
- Opinions are our own. Fees are set out in the engagement agreement and never depend on the outcome of the case.
- Confidential. Case materials are handled in line with any protective order and returned or destroyed when the matter ends. We do not discuss past matters, and we will not discuss yours.
Request a conflict check
Please don't include confidential or privileged details. A brief description of the matter and the parties' names are enough for the conflict check.
