Forensic and Expert Witness
With in excess of 20 years experience in investigating fires, failures and providing independent expertise across a wide range of industries.
Leeke Associates has a proven track record of failure investigation based on experience over many years and covering a wide range of plant, equipment processes and systems. As an independent consultancy the practice delivers impartial and objective advice which includes:-
- Collecting relevant evidence (physical and oral).
- Establishing the sequence of events.
- Diagnosing the cause of failure.
- Physical testing and analysis.
- Reviewing design, operation and maintenance practices to prevent future re-occurrences.
- Establishing wider implications e.g., health & safety.
Comprehensive advice and reports for the legal and insurance sector, industry and commerce.
Whilst the majority of disputes are settled before reaching court, the process is likely to require a knowledgeable and suitably qualified expert from the outset. Within Leeke Associates we have experience of giving both written and oral evidence, including acting as Single Joint Experts, for:-
- Civil Action.
- Court Hearings.
- Coroners Hearings.
- Arbitration / Adjudication Proceedings.
- Failure Investigations.
We are registered expert witnesses with the Law Society.
