Expert Witness and Litigation Support

Expert Witness

Glovers has a number of practising expert witnesses all of whom maintain 'hands-on' experience of live jobs so their opinions are both practical and up-to-date.  Expert appointments vary widely from low-value domestic disputes concerning workmanship issues to complex £multimillion and multiparty matters, some of which have involved up to 13 experts.  Download our leaflet for details of recent appointments.

All appointments are case-managed by out Head of Dispute Resolution to ensure tribunal timetables are met and any queries are dealt with swiftly.

Our expert witnesses are:

David Baldwin - With over 25 years working nationally and internationally as a quantity surveyor, David is a respected expert witness who has prepared reports and given evidence on numerous joint and single expert appointments.  His detailed working knowledge, his courtroom experience and a commitment to maintaining hands-on experience means David is recommended time and again for expert appointments of all descriptions.  David's ability to see things from a different angle means often his reports lead to a settlement of the case.

Andrew Brown - As Glovers Director of Cost Management, Andrew has overall responsibility for all live projects which Glovers are involved with.  Since obtaining his MSc in Construction Law in 2005, Andrew has applied this experience to providing expert opinion in a number of matters requiring surveying expertise and his encyclopaedic knowledge of measurement issues means he can deliver robust reports on a wide variety of subjects.

Nick White - Nick heads up the Building Surveying team for Glovers and provides reports on a regular basis.  These range from a simple report on workmanship to full Part 35 reports including valuation of remedial works, etc.  Nick's day-to-day involvement with Building Regulations and Planning Permission applications means he can also give expert opinion on matters arising out of these procedures.
