An Expert Witness Doesn’t Just Present Evidence—They Shape Outcomes
In high-value construction disputes, expert testimony can tip the scale. But not all expert reports are created equal—and not all experts can withstand the intensity of cross-examination. The role of an expert witness demands more than technical knowledge. It requires clarity, neutrality, and composure under pressure.
At PAR Advisory, we don’t just deliver expert reports—we deliver credible, concise, and defensible expertise that strengthens your position and supports equitable resolutions.

What Makes an Expert Witness Truly Effective?
An effective expert witness is defined not just by qualifications, but by three critical attributes:
1. Clarity
Their findings must be logically structured and clearly articulated, especially for non-technical audiences like arbitrators and judges.
2. Credibility
They must maintain impartiality while standing firmly behind their conclusions—even under aggressive questioning.
3. Consistency
Their analysis must align with project evidence, planning logic, contractual obligations, and commonly accepted forensic techniques.
We bring all three to every appointment—because when the stakes are high, your expert must not only know the facts, but defend them with precision.

Our Role in Expert Assignments
We’ve acted as delay experts and technical advisors on arbitration and litigation proceedings, and conciliation hearings throughout the Middle East. Our services typically
include:
• Independent delay and/or quantum analysis
• Preparation of expert reports in line with tribunal or court requirements
• Collaboration on joint expert statements
• Support during hearings and expert meetings
• Oral testimony and cross-examination defense
Our reports are designed to be objective and audit-proof, whether presented in arbitration, litigation, or conciliation settings.

The Impact of Strong Expert Testimony
We’ve seen firsthand how a well-prepared expert report and a clear, composed delivery can change the outcome of a dispute. Strong expert contributions can:
• Clarify complex issues for the tribunal
• Discredit vague or inflated opposing claims
• Strengthen your legal counsel’s arguments
• Help resolve disputes earlier or support full tribunal awards
In several cases, our findings were not only adopted by the tribunal—but led to full dismissal of contractor claims or significant reduction in exposure for our clients.
