The seminar took place at the Ritz-Carlton DIFC and provided valuable insight on the different types of expert specialisms, forums in which experts may be utilised and practical and legal issues to consider along the way. The presentations highlighted the importance of early appointment and warned of the dangers of stepping outside of expertise. The speakers provided the attendees with examples of do&rsquo;s and don&rsquo;ts and engaged the audience in a lively discussion while covering topical issues.</span></p>
