THE EMPLOYMENT EXPERTS
Employment expert witnesses of choice for many lawyers and insurance companies, Trevor Gilbert & Associates is considered to be the UK's leading provider of loss of earnings reports in matters of personal injury and clinical negligence litigation, and employment tribunals.
Our litigation support service also delivers expert reports by forensic accountants and because of the considerable increase over the past few years relating to investment banking cases we have created a specialist division to investigate and report on these significantly high value claims.
"I would describe your firm as the pre-eminent organisation in relation to the provision of expert employment reports. I know that you often act for Defendants but such is your reputation of fair reporting that this does not prevent me or my firm from instructing you. Indeed your fierce independence is one of the reasons that we do!"
Claimant Lawyer
We can also deliver evidence on overseas labour markets, having prepared reports for nationals of France, Netherlands, Eire, Kosovo, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, the United States of America and Australia.
