Legal Aid Expert Witness

Who We Serve

We focus exclusively on the legal aid landscape — providing expert evidence that is accessible, efficient, and tribunal-ready.

Asylum Seekers

We know the asylum process can feel overwhelming. Here are clear answers to questions you may have about expert evidence.

What is an expert witness?

An expert witness is an independent specialist who provides factual, court-ready evidence about conditions in your country of origin. Their report helps the tribunal understand whether it is safe for you to return.

Can I get one with legal aid?

Yes. If you have a legal aid solicitor, they can apply to the Legal Aid Agency for funding to commission an expert report. You do not need to arrange or pay for this yourself — your solicitor handles the process on your behalf.

If you have a legal aid solicitor, speak to them about whether an expert report would help your case. You do not need to contact us directly.

NGOs & Refugee Law Centres

Front-line organisations need expert evidence they can rely on. We work with NGOs and refugee law centres to provide court-standard country condition reports that underpin legal challenges and advocacy work. Referrals should be made through the instructing solicitor holding the legal aid certificate.
