Electrical expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience as an electrical engineer or electrician. Candidates may be designated as a licensed professional engineer, and are often involved with an industry association.

Often, matters requiring electrical expert witness services involve intellectual property. A forensic engineer can reverse engineer components to prove (or disprove) intellectual property infringement or theft. An expert with specialized knowledge in electrical technology might also provide testimony in a product liability case or an accident investigation. In addition, a law firm may request a professional electrical engineer for pre-litigation engineering services. Litigation support could include forensic engineering, expert report preparation, depositions, and expert witness testimony in the courtroom. Cahn Litigation Services has completed numerous searches for electrical expert witnesses, providing candidates for each case to the specifications provided by the attorney in charge.
