Our team of experts can create various types of reports tailored to meet your client’s requirements. These range from concise screening summaries, typically 2-3 pages long, to more comprehensive CPR court-ready reports.

Typically, our experts can produce short screening summaries within 3-4 weeks, though this timeline may vary based on workload. For full CPR-compliant reports, the process may take longer, generally spanning 6-12 weeks. Feel free to reach out to us for the current turnaround times for full CPR- compliant reports.

Before initiating a report, we can provide an estimate of fees, which will depend on factors such as the complexity of the case, volume of records, and timeframe involved. Additional work beyond the initial report will be billed at an hourly rate.

For further information, please contact our Office Manager on 01442 773573.

We are committed to maintaining regular communication with our clients throughout the process to ensure that reports are delivered within the agreed-upon timelines.

Your Rights

We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy rights, which include:

• Right to know how we use your personal data.
• Right to receive a copy of all your personal information we handle.
• Right to correct any inaccurate data or add missing details.
• Right to have your personal data.

We process personal data of individuals seeking legal advice or involved in legal disputes, including witnesses and related parties.

We process this data under our legitimate interests as expert witnesses, necessary for providing expert advice. For sensitive data (e.g., health records), we rely on legal claims as a basis for processing, in addition to our legitimate interests.

In many cases, individuals consent to their data being transferred to us. If consent is given, it can be withdrawn at any time by notifying us.
