Expert witnesses, subject matter experts and in-house independent support

Martello Expert Services is an independent consulting practice that provides expert witnesses, subject matter experts and a range of consulting services across financial services and commodities.

Our unique proposition

Martello offers a service to our clients which is unique and critically different from our competitors.

Financial services and commodities are complex. They encompass a multitude of niche products with idiosyncratic working practises and an ever-changing regulatory backdrop.

We listen carefully to our clients to fully understand their brief and the legal strategy that is being considered. We bring the benefit of the deep financial services knowledge of our directors to ensure that experts proposed have true subject matter expertise for the requirements of the case.

Once an expert is appointed, the Martello team support them to deliver the highest quality, court-ready report. Our team of analysts work alongside the experts to conduct research, perform data extraction and analysis, and liaise with our clients to assist with document management and information requests.

Finally, we work hard to prepare our experts for hearings and cross-examinations.

In this way, we are able to best preserve the necessary independence of our experts and fulfil the CPR Part 35 expert witness requirements.

The combination of our deep sector knowledge, the quality of our independent experts and the strength of our analyst team are key differentiators for Martello in our market.

What we do

A curated high-quality cohort of expert witnesses

Martello marries specialist knowledge with expert skills to provide you with the right team.

Finding the right subject matter expert is critical

Before an expert is onboarded, Martello conducts an exhaustive vetting process of each candidate. We interrogate subject matter expertise, check reputational records and take independent references.

Our directors additionally interview experts to check for soundness of judgement as well as an ability to clearly and simply express complex concepts in spoken and written word.

The majority of our experts have decades of experience and have now completed the executive stages of their careers. This means that individuals have the time to commit to expert assignments and reduces the possibility for conflicts of interest with current employers.

We cover the entire spectrum of financial services: Retail, Commercial, Investment banking, Insurance, Private Equity, Hedge Funds. As well as front-line practitioners, we also have experts drawn from across the three-lines-of-defence (in the areas of Compliance, Risk, Control and Internal Audit) as well as a number of ex-regulators. Within our platform, we also cover the full spectrum of commodities: Energy, Base and Precious Metals and Agricultural Commodities.

Our expert cohort is deep and diverse in nature. We typically want to put forward a number of experts for each potential assignment so that our clients have the opportunity to compare and contrast different individuals against the requirements of their case.

We are continuously adding to our expert cohort so that the gene pool remains fresh and relevant, especially in new areas like ESG, e-commerce, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology.
