Solicitors

Our specialist educational and clinical psychologists provide a broad range of solicitor services. We support solicitors and the court on matters of expertise within the fields of clinical, educational and child psychology. Our expert psychologists adhere to the 2015 rehabilitation code and the Ministry of Justice’s practice direction 35.

Expert evidence should be the independent product of the expert uninfluenced by the pressures of litigation.
Experts should assist the court by providing objective, unbiased opinions on matters within their expertise, and should not assume the role of an advocate.
Experts should consider all material facts, including those which might detract from their opinions.
