Cloud services expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and expertise in computer science, software, cloud storage, networking, or computer security. With a concern by some experts on privacy, cyber security and computer forensics expertise is also in demand. Cloud services models include the following services:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
• Platform as a Service (PaaS),
• Software as a Service (SaaS),
• Serverless computing,
• Function as a service (FaaS), and
• Mobile “backend” as a service (MBaaS)

Cloud services and cloud storage are emerging technology areas with ongoing research and a highly competitive landscape, and cloud-related patent lawsuits are expected to rise. Representative cloud services matters that have required expert witness services involve legal issues pertaining to:

• cloud computing patent infringement, including Inter partes reviews
• cloud gaming matters
• computer forensics, for example, disputes involving digital evidence
• trade secret data stored in the cloud

Litigation support and digital forensic investigations in the cloud computing world have unique challenges, due to the use of remote storage and virtualization technologies. Litigation support by a cloud computing expert witness could include the review of underlying technology by an industry expert, an expert witness report, expert opinion, and expert testimony. Cahn Litigation Services is frequently called upon by law firms to locate expert witnesses that can support cloud services matters.
