Description

Director – Delay Expert Witness & Advisory

London

The Opportunity

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

  • 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
