The assistance of legal representatives associated with the case in drafting reports brings the risk of a loss of independence. If instructed as a Single Joint Expert this would also be virtually impossible to manage.

We suggest instead that experts with dyslexia are encouraged to work through reputable expert witness firms (such as one of our Corporate Members or Partners). These  usually offer a report quality process which provides drafting support, peer review, formatting help, general advice inter alia. The expert’s independent stance is not at risk in this case.

There are editors/proofreaders/secretarial services (both individuals and companies) who specialise in typing, editing, and reviewing documents who might be ideal to undertake a proofread of a report if that person is not working through an expert witness company. However, the expert should proof read the report to ensure the meanings are exactly as they intended.

There are also some very good apps, so dependent on the degree of dyslexia, something like Grammarly might be of assistance or the AI proof reader Scribbr.
