Retain Your Expert Witness Early

When you have a banking case coming up, you should know that it’s very important to have an expert witness. The best rule of thumb to remember is to retain them early, and retain them often. 

During early involvement your expert witness can take the time to review the numerous regulations, polices, and procedures involved with your case. The experts you retain early can also assist you in analyzing your case and devising a focused, specific discovery plan. 

While reviewing pertinent documents early on, they may discover that not all of the necessary documents have been put together for the case. By having extra time, your team has the ability to dig up the documents and properly prepare everything for the case. Experts can also assist you in preparing for mediation and reaching an early resolution. Your expert will also be more prepared for deposition and trial when he or she has had more time than just have a few days to prepare.

Know that if you're hesitant to get an expert witness involved too soon because you're hopeful the case will settle out of court, do not!
