Expert Witness Reports
Court-ready expert witness reports for civil, family, and criminal proceedings.
Expert Witness Services
Sterling Forensic provides expert witness reports designed for judges, not accountants. Our reports set out clear reasoning, transparent methodology, and findings that withstand cross-examination under CPR Part 35, FPR Part 25, or CrPR Part 33 as appropriate.
We accept party-appointed and Single Joint Expert (SJE) appointments across commercial litigation, family financial remedy proceedings, personal injury, construction quantum, and criminal matters.
Expert Witness in Disputes and Valuations
Sterling Forensic expert witnesses are instructed across the full range of forensic accounting disputes: commercial litigation, shareholder oppression proceedings, business valuation in financial remedy, loss and damages quantification, construction quantum, fraud and asset tracing, insolvency, and regulatory enforcement.
Our expert evidence addresses the financial questions that determine outcome — fair value in shareholder disputes, maintainable earnings in business valuations, but-for loss in contractual claims, and overhead recovery in construction disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What court rules do Sterling Forensic expert reports comply with?
Our reports comply with CPR Part 35 for civil proceedings, FPR Part 25 for family proceedings, and CrPR Part 33 for criminal proceedings, as appropriate to the instruction.
Does Sterling Forensic accept Single Joint Expert appointments?
Yes. We accept SJE appointments in commercial disputes, family proceedings, and construction quantum matters. We confirm availability and realistic timelines at the outset.
When should a solicitor instruct an expert witness?
Instruct as early as possible when financial quantification, business valuation, or specialist accounting analysis is required. Early instruction allows assessment of whether expert evidence is warranted before significant costs are incurred.
Does Sterling Forensic provide expert witness evidence in shareholder disputes?
Yes. We provide party-appointed and Single Joint Expert evidence on fair value, minority discount, and loss quantification in s994 Companies Act 2006 proceedings and related commercial litigation.
Does Sterling Forensic quantify loss and damages as an expert witness?
Yes. Loss and damages quantification — including loss of profits, consequential loss, and business interruption — is a core expert witness instruction. We prepare CPR Part 35 reports establishing a but-for baseline and applying appropriate methodology.
