Litigation Support

Expert to Expert Advice Request

By Meredith

As I have said before, so many experts express frustration about encountering situations in the legal industry that they have no experience with in their own field and thus no guidelines. You, our readers, have been very generous in sharing your experiences and best practices with other experts, so on behalf of an expert who contacted me last week, I ask for your assistance.

Here is the question:

?If an expert talks to one side in a case and, having heard some details about the case and perhaps done a bit of research, decides that in fact she cannot support that side's position...but she could support the opposition's side...is it unethical or otherwise looked ill-upon if that expert then accepts work for the opposing counsel on the very same (or other similar) case??
