How To Be an Effective and Sought After Expert Witness

For attorneys, choosing a knowledgeable and experienced expert witness is of paramount importance. Unlike attorneys who are schooled in the world of litigation, experts often come from academia, the government and industry, and are not familiar with the unique skills required to be an effective witness.

Join EAS Consulting Group’s Independent Consultant and General Counsel at Herrick Feinstein LLP, Ronald J. Levine, for a one-hour complimentary webinar replay on the role, expectations, and required skills for being an effective expert witness.

The webinar will provide an in-depth overview of:

• The engagement process of becoming an expert
• How experts are utilized in investigations, trials, and arbitrations
• Projecting expertise as part of written reports and oral testimony
• The business of being an expert witness
