01What is an immigration and asylum expert witness?
An expert witness provides independent, reasoned opinion evidence on country conditions, risk on return, medical or psychological sequelae of persecution, trafficking indicators, or related issues relevant to immigration and asylum proceedings in the United Kingdom.
02Which tribunals and courts do you cover?
We prepare reports for the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), the Upper Tribunal, judicial review in the High Court, and related appellate work across England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
03How quickly can a report be commissioned?
Most enquiries receive a same-day response during UK business hours (GMT/BST). Urgent hearings within 48 hours should be flagged by telephone as well as the enquiry form so we can confirm capacity.
04What materials should solicitors provide?
A clear letter of instruction, relevant Home Office and tribunal bundles, medical records where applicable, and any prior expert reports. Incomplete bundles delay scoping and may affect turnaround.
