Expertise that survives the page.
Subject knowledge matters. So does the ability to write an independent report that a tribunal can follow, question, and rely upon. Experts are matched to each instruction — by country, ground, and forum — not listed as a marketing roster.
Country, ground, forum, deadline, and independence — in that order.
Matched to the instruction, named before work starts.
We do not publish invented biographies or a fixed public roster that implies coverage we cannot verify. When you instruct, we confirm who will write the report, why they are the right match, and whether they can meet your deadline — in writing, before fees are incurred.
Country and ground first
The instruction is matched to an expert with demonstrable knowledge of the country and the thematic issue directed — political, religious, LGBTQ+, gender-based violence, ethnicity, credibility, relocation, or guidance compatibility.
Forum awareness second
The expert must be able to write to the filing standard of the instructed forum. Subject knowledge without report discipline is not enough; report fluency without country depth is not enough either.
Availability against your deadline
We will not name an expert who cannot deliver properly by the date you need. If the right expert is not available in time, we say so — and decline rather than substitute someone outside the field.
Conflicts and independence checked
Prior involvement with a party, organisation, or related case is disclosed before engagement. Where independence cannot be maintained, we do not proceed.
Named public profiles will be added here once each expert's specialist areas, jurisdictions, languages, and report experience have been verified for publication. Until then, ask about the country and ground you need.
Four tests. All four must be met.
What we look for before anyone is named on a report.
Specialist knowledge
Demonstrable country, thematic, linguistic, or contextual expertise relevant to the instructed issue — not general commentary.
Report-writing discipline
The ability to turn specialist knowledge into a clear, sourced, and properly qualified expert report that a tribunal can follow and challenge.
Independence
A professional approach that distinguishes evidence, assumptions, opinion, and the decision-maker's role — including where the evidence does not assist the instructing party.
Forum awareness
Understanding of the practical requirements of the jurisdiction where the report will be filed — declarations, disclosure, and the register in which the opinion must be written.
Name, qualifications, and continuity — not a placeholder.
The expert is part of the engagement, not an afterthought.
The expert named before work starts
You are told who will write the report, with relevant experience set out, as part of the written scope — not after the draft is finished.
Qualifications on the face of the report
The filed document carries the expert's field, the basis for their opinions, and the limits of what they can speak to. That is what the forum tests.
Continuity if the case moves on
Where a supplementary opinion or oral evidence is required, the same expert stands behind the written report wherever possible.
Questions before you instruct
- Can I choose a specific expert?
- You can ask about a particular specialist. We will confirm whether they are available, independent, and the right match for the country and ground. We will not assign an expert outside their field to meet a preference.
- Why are individual profiles not listed on this page?
- Experts are assigned per instruction against current availability and the specific country and ground. A static public roster would overstate coverage. Ask about the country and issue you need — we will name the expert we propose before any work begins.
- Will the expert be available for hearing?
- Where oral evidence is anticipated, that is agreed at instruction. The written report is drafted so that hearing evidence can be given from it. Availability for a specific hearing date is confirmed against the expert’s diary before it is promised.

We will tell you who we propose, and whether they are available — before any work begins.
