With the significant impact an expert witness can have on a case, it is imperative that we run a conflict check before formal retention.  The Expert People maintains an up to date database of attorneys and law firms that each member of our team has done business with in the past. Additionally, we record the identities of the attorneys’ clients as well as any parties and attorneys our team member was adverse to in those proceedings. Also, records of all of his or her own clients, investments, and other business dealings  to ensure our clients will not suffer from any surprises.  

Before we proceed with a formal retention contract we require the following:

1.         The attorney’s name and law firm;
2.         The name(s) of the attorney’s client(s);
3.         The full name(s) of the opposing party or parties;
4.         The name(s) of the opposing counsel and law firm(s);
5.         The name of the opposing expert witnesses (if applicable).

We will proceed with necessary waivers or formal retention contract pending a conflicts review.
