The legal and expert witness sector is essential in providing professional testimony and advice in various legal and regulatory matters. Civil proceedings often involve expert witnesses offering technical insights on acoustics, noise, vibration, air quality, dust and odour impacts.. Public Inquiries, Appeals, Prosecutions and Parliamentary Select Committees may require expert input to assist the court or guide decision-making on large-scale projects of national significance. Noise-induced hearing claims are a common focus for acoustic experts, offering evidence in personal injury cases. Representation at planning committees and hearings ensures that developments meet legal and regulatory standards, with experts often called upon to clarify complex technical details. Forensic acoustic services provide further support in legal cases, with experts providing specialised knowledge in investigations and dispute resolution.
