Litigation Support and the Provision of Expert Testimony
Arbitration and litigation in the insurance and reinsurance industry has become a fact of life in the last decades. Whilst commercial settlement of liability is generally a preferred option for parties in dispute, a legal remedy remains a necessary course of action for a variety of reasons.
The high level of costs in proceedings and the burden that document discovery can impose means that an in depth technical understanding of issues can often add considerable value. Chiltington has extensive experience in both types of action in the United Kingdom and the United States. We understand the processes and are equipped to deliver high technical skills with a view to developing the strongest possible case for the client.We seek to work with the legal profession in both supporting and advisory roles. In our experience, this "team" approach delivers the best possible result for the client.Our skills are applied in the following areas:
- Assistance in the preparation of a case. We provide technical, accounting, and strategic advice in the stages prior to proceedings. These include pretrial research and assistance in formulating documents. In addition, we will work with the client's legal team to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the client's case and thereafter to focus on its strengths.

Our detailed reports will also often be used to support evidence to be presented at trial.
