FVC2356. Forensic Practitioners in Arbitration: Witnesses, Consultants and Neutrals

Forensic practitioners sometimes appear before arbitrators, sometimes provide consulting services and sometimes serve as neutrals. Experienced panelists will share their experiences with each role, and how those experiences have shaped their work in dispute services. They will also discuss professional practice, engagement administration and engagement delivery challenges of serving as a neutral.
Learning objectives: Attendees will learn to apply SSFS No. 1 in the role of a neutral. Attendees will also learn practice tips on the delivery of professional services as a neutral, and how the neutral perspective influences and enhances the practitioner's skill and perspective in delivering expert witness, consulting and other litigation support services.


Learning Objectives:

  • Apply the requirements of SSFS No. 1 to the role of a neutral
  • Compare professional practice considerations for engagements as a neutral to litigation engagements for a single party
  • Compare engagement administration and delivery considerations for engagements as a neutral to litigation engagements for a single party
  • Compare and contrast the professional judgments and consideration of evidence by practitioners in various roles in arbitration
  • Identify attributes of successful engagement execution in arbitration
