The Circle Case Management Expert
Witness Panel: Raising Standards in
Independent Expert Evidence
by Yvonne Spijkerman, Clinical Director
For legal professionals, this provides con昀椀dence
that every report produced through Circle Case
Management is grounded in genuine objectivity and
ethical integrity - qualities that are fundamental to
the expert witness role and central to the credibility
of any court report.
In an era where the credibility and timeliness of
expert evidence can shape the outcome of legal
proceedings, the role of a reliable, transparent, and
skilled expert witness provider has never been more
vital. The legal profession depends on independent
expertise to bring clarity, impartiality, and authority
to complex matters.
A Select Panel of Highly Skilled Experts
Circle Case Management has emerged as a
leading name in this 昀椀eld, o昀昀ering a new standard
of excellence through its Expert Witness Panel.
The panel combines the independence and
professionalism of seasoned experts with the
structure and support of a dedicated management
team, ensuring quality, e昀케ciency, and transparency
for every instruction.
Circle Case Management does not operate an open
marketplace model. Instead, it o昀昀ers a carefully
curated panel of experts who have been handselected based on their quali昀椀cations, professional
standing, and proven ability to produce high-quality
court-compliant reports.
The panel includes specialists across a wide range of
disciplines, such as:

Independence and Integrity at the Core
One of the key distinguishing features of Circle
Case Management is its independent status. Unlike
larger medico-legal agencies or 昀椀rms driven by
volume-based contracts, Circle Case Management
is not a昀케liated with any single organisation or
corporate interest.
Each expert is vetted not only for their professional
expertise but also for their experience in medicolegal reporting - including courtroom experience,
report writing skills, and understanding of the
Civil Procedure Rules (CPR Part 35) and equivalent
standards in Ireland.
This independence allows Circle Case Management’s
panel to remain wholly impartial - a vital principle
for expert witnesses whose duty is to the court rather
than to any party instructing them. Independence
ensures that each expert’s opinion is guided solely
by their professional knowledge, evidence, and
expertise, free from commercial or organisational
pressures.
