OLVER
& RAWDEN
is a multi-disciplinary practice of engineers operating in forensic
engineering
for over
50 years, providing comprehensive reports for the legal and insurance
professions, and commercial organisations. We are proud of our
reputation for providing detailed, clear, unbiased reports to assist our
clients at all stages.
With
engineers spanning all major areas of engineering, we are able to appoint an
engineer qualified to consider, inspect, report and if need be, provide evidence
in Court, appropriate to the issue at hand. All engineers have experience
of industry, specific training in report writing and have obtained considerable
Courtroom experience over many years of practice. Our engineers are able
to provide quick, cost-effective advice, opinion and reports with or without
on-site investigation and always endeavour to meet the deadlines imposed by the
Courts.
The
introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules and in particular Rule 35 relating to
expert evidence means that we are now frequently instructed on a joint basis by
the litigating parties. Our pre-litigation advices and subsequent reports are
prepared fully in line with the rules, having in mind our over-riding duty to
the Court and not to those who instruct us. We can still provide advisory
reports or act as shadow experts if necessary. Any reports
prepared can be proportional with the cost of the litigation and thus meet any
budgetary limits set by the Court. Short advices or photograph only reports can
be prepared. We can provide a fast turn-round on reports and issue by email
when necessary.
OLVER
& RAWDEN
is also able to undertake risk
assessment and specialist consultancy work. We have considerable
experience in these particular fields.
