The Academy is the professional society and accrediting body for expert witnesses of all disciplines, independently run by experts for experts and those using them.
We’re proud to have Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury as our President with support from a range of legal luminaries with Chief Executive Nicola Cohen running the team who support members on a day to day basis.
But the great strength of the Academy is the contribution made by its members to the direction and running of the organisation through the Executive who direct management & finance and Council who set the agenda for the future and provide expert-led input into our guidance and activities.
Our AGM will be on 14th October 2025 and this online event will bring the opportunity for members to elect their representatives to Council for next year. If you’re a member and haven’t received an invitation please contact the Academy office.
Council meets formally twice a year and we have working groups for subjects as diverse as marketing, standards, formal consultations and AI. Current members include architects, accountants, insurance & IT experts. We’re keen to hear from members in as wide a range of specialisms as possible so whatever your interests please get in touch.
Council Members are elected for a three year term and may hold office for no more than two consecutive terms. Details of the roles and duties are available here.
If you would like to stand for election please complete the online Nomination Form and Election Address by noon on 3rd September. Please note that only Full Members and Fellows are eligible to stand for Council but Associate Members who are interested in contributing are welcome to get in touch, there is always something you can do to help!
