Expert Witness and Litigation Support
Our marine scientists serve as subject matter experts and witnesses, assisting clients with licensing, permitting processes, and contaminated sediment litigation.
Our subject matter experts recognize the importance of making scientific evidence accessible and understandable to administrative law judges and lay jurors. Effectively explaining this evidence enhances the expert’s credibility and influences the decision-maker’s perception and judgment.
In some state offshore energy permitting and licensing, such as New York’s Article VII, our scientists provide expert deposition and live testimony during the adjudicative process. Their role helps decision-makers determine whether to issue licenses and what environmental conditions should be imposed to ensure compliance and protection.
