EXPERT WITNESS ACTIVITIES
Expert witnesses deal with the external, objective recording of facts and prepare private or court reports on them. The latter is to be prepared by generally sworn and court-certified expert witnesses. CENTURION's expert witnesses prepare expert opinions both as court expert witnesses and as private expert witnesses in the field of litigation and criminal law.
In dynamic business life, conflicts can always arise, for example between shareholders or managing directors. Especially in these cases, it is important to have independent and reliable experts at your side. The CENTURION team supports entrepreneurs, owners, shareholders, private individuals and also corporations, and is regularly appointed as an expert witness by the courts, not least because of its many years of experience.
We analyse the disputed situation, advise you on opportunities and risks, support you in enforcing your claims or prepare independent, objective expert opinions. We work together in intra-disciplinary teams to provide you with the most efficient and highest quality preparation of the facts.
The result of our work is usually an expert opinion which makes complex facts understandable for outsiders such as parties to the dispute, courts, public prosecutors or other authorities. During court proceedings, CENTURION experts explain the expert opinions and thus lay the foundation for further procedural steps.
