NERA Managing Director Philip de Homont co-authored the chapter “Expert Witness Preparation” with Bomchil Partner Federico Campolieti in the Wolters Kluwer publication International Arbitration in Practice. This comprehensive guide offers insights into effectively preparing expert witnesses for international arbitration.

The chapter underscores the critical role expert evidence plays in resolving complex disputes, in which tribunals rely on specialized knowledge beyond their own expertise. The authors detail the preparation involved at various levels of the process, emphasizing the importance of the expert’s technical familiarity with their own analysis and the nuances of the case at hand. Key fields highlighted include technical expertise (e.g., engineering and inspection), economic assessments (e.g., quantum of damages), and legal nuances relevant to the arbitration.
