Description

Director – Delay Expert Witness & Advisory

London

Our client is a next-generation expert witness and advisory consultancy built by senior practitioners who’ve done it at the very top of the market. They currently seek a Director with expertise within delay analysis to help shape the firm’s next phase of growth.

The Opportunity

As a Director, you’ll sit at the heart of the business: Trusted by clients. Respected by peers. Heard by the board

Supporting the head of the Delay practise, you’ll run significant matters, help steer strategy, and play a meaningful role in growing the business, without bureaucracy, politics, or being buried under layers of management.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading complex expert witness and advisory assignments (delay and related)
  • Acting as a key client interface with top-tier law firms, funders, and corporates
  • Supporting the Managing Directors in shaping service lines, standards, and strategy
  • Mentoring and developing consultants
  • Contributing to business development in a way that feels natural to you

Who This Is For

You’re likely already operating at Associate Director or Director level in a recognised expert witness consultancy, and:

  • You are acting as an expert - testimony experience not essential 
  • Well qualified and / or chartered 
  • You are well-regarded by clients and peers
  • You combine technical authority with commercial judgement
  • You enjoy responsibility and autonomy
  • You want to be part of a leadership group where your voice actually matters
  • You care about quality, reputation, and long-term value - not just short-term wins

What the client offers

  • A genuinely senior role
  • Clear path to progress to Managing Director 
  • Entrepreneurial culture 
  • A best in class team that supports your onward development
  • Competitive remuneration with upside aligned to growth

If of further interest please contact our London office for more information.

All conversations are strictly confidential.

If you’re curious or would like an informal chat first to qualify your interest further we would love to hear from you.
