DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Enterprise is offering a free course on the advantag
 es and potential issues associated with serving as an expert witness in a 
 court case.  This is an ideal opportunity to understand the pitfalls and g
 et advice on any specific concerns from local experts.\n\nA Supreme Court 
 decision earlier this year abolished the immunity from liability in neglig
 ence which expert witnesses had previously enjoyed. This course is designe
 d to help you understand the potential problems associated with expert wit
 ness work\, how to avoid them and other issues you should be aware of.\n\n
 The course will be led by Caroline Chivers and Robert Renfree\, who are bo
 th experienced solicitors in Mills & Reeve’s Cambridge commercial litiga
 tion team. Caroline and Robert will explain the potential legal liabilitie
 s of acting as an expert witness\, and will outline how expert witnesses c
 an minimise their exposure to claims. \nThis course is the first in a seri
 es of free development seminars being organised by the Consultancy Service
 s team at Cambridge Enterprise.\n\nThe course will be followed by a compli
 mentary lunch\, with opportunities for further discussion.\n\nPlaces are l
 imited. To book your place\, please email events@enterprise.cam.ac.uk by M
 onday\, 28 November. \n
