Whether from a law firm or an expert witness consultancy, attorneys preparing for trial tend to lean on trusted networks to find them an appropriate expert witness for trial. But two emerging startups are hoping to force the expert witness system beyond the traditional confines of the referral.
Expert Witness Exchange, the brainchild of personal injury trial attorney Paul Levin, is developing an online marketplace paired with a large-scale legal analytics platform to help attorneys find their best-fit expert witness. The other, JuriLytics, is a recent graduate of LexisNexis’ new legal technology accelerator program, and is looking to leverage scientific peer review to give attorneys the upper hand in taking down an opposing expert witness.
