Witness Connect

Key Features and Functions include:

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.
