The Ethics of Serving as an Expert Witness
In disputes involving complex technical issues, the opinion of an expert witness can be critical for assisting the trier of fact in understanding the evidence and ascertaining the truth.

Core Expertise
Whether a dispute requires software failure expertise or a software intellectual property expert, experienced DisputeSoft professionals can assist both in uncovering, preserving and acquiring relevant data and software, and in the analysis needed to resolve the underlying dispute in the most expeditious manner possible.
Our analysis usually leads to expert opinions and an expert report, which we are prepared to defend in deposition or at trial with effective and persuasive expert testimony. Our professionals also have experience with preparing affidavits and declarations to support motions, as well as assisting with discovery, including drafting document production requests.
Irrespective of the type of software dispute you may have, we have developed a strong sub-specialty in uncovering facts that support or refute underlying technical issues. To achieve this result, we have developed a core discipline in computer forensics and electronic discovery. Expertise in these areas is imperative for effectively locating and recovering relevant electronically stored information (ESI), given that today virtually all business records are stored electronically.
