We are delighted to announce that Peter Broad has published a new book, ‘What a Marine Surveyor needs to know about Becoming an Expert Witness’
Understanding the distinctions between marine consultancy, surveying, and expert witness is so important.
Marine consultancy and surveying share many common skills and competencies, but they differ significantly in terms of the appointment processes, scope of work, and deliverables.
This handy guide focuses on the unique legal responsibilities of marine surveyors and consultants acting as expert witnesses. It covers the full process, from initial engagement and evidence assessment, to courtroom testimony, preparing consultants to deliver clear, credible and independent technical opinions that meet legal standards.
