Witness Connect
Witness Connect is a UK-based platform designed to support the full expert witness instruction workflow, covering solicitor and expert matching, secure document exchange, case communication, and payment. The platform replaces fragmented, email-based processes with a secure, standardised, and auditable system for solicitors and expert witnesses. Expert profiles are structured and verified, presenting qualifications, registrations, availability, and rates in a consistent format. Witness Connect operates as a direct platform meaning experts retain control over their work and fees, and solicitors retain full autonomy over selection and instruction decisions.
Features
- Expert Matching and Profiles: The platform provides structured, verified expert profiles presenting qualifications, registrations, availability, and rates in a consistent format. Solicitors can identify and instruct suitable expert witnesses directly, without intermediary involvement. Experts are not promoted or prioritised based on paid visibility.
- End-to-End Instruction Workflow: Witness Connect supports the full instruction lifecycle within a single environment, from initial identification and onboarding through to instruction, ongoing communication, and payment. This replaces fragmented multi-channel processes with a standardised workflow.
- Secure Document Exchange: The platform includes encrypted document exchange functionality, enabling solicitors and expert witnesses to share case materials securely within the platform rather than through general-purpose email or file-sharing channels.
- Case Communication Management: Communication between solicitors and expert witnesses is managed within a dedicated, structured environment, supporting confidentiality requirements and reducing reliance on unstructured external channels.
- Audit and Transparency: Workflows are designed to be auditable at every stage of the instruction process, providing a clear record of communications, instructions, and documentation exchanges to support compliance and professional standards.
- Payment Processing: The platform incorporates payment functionality within the instruction workflow, allowing fee management to be handled within the same system rather than through separate processes.
