Problem
Legal professionals in the medico-legal sector struggle to find and assess expert witnesses and interpreters, relying on traditional directories that offer no visual or communicative insight into candidates. These outdated listings lack verification depth relied upon for Part 35 compliance, forcing solicitors to take on risk, while agencies often dictate expert fees and take commissions, reducing experts' autonomy and driving up costs.
Solution
WitnessMatch provides a digital marketplace where legal teams can directly connect with clinically-verified expert witnesses and interpreters without agency involvement. The platform features video profiles, allowing solicitors to assess an expert's communication style before instructing, and double-verification at registration and match points to ensure credibility. AI-driven clinical intelligence understands the medical hierarchy, ensuring accurate specialty matches, while suitability ratings confirm relevance of candidates. Experts keep 100% of their fees, and solicitors benefit from reduced risk, faster 1-3 day turnaround, and complete autonomy over the selection process.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK legal professionals including solicitors and law firms handling clinical negligence, personal injury, and other medico-legal cases, as well as healthcare professionals seeking expert witness or interpreter work.
