Computer Engineering Expert Witnesses

What is a computer engineering expert witness?

Computer engineering expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience in computer science, computer hardware-software integration, software engineering, electrical engineering, and/or as a computer forensic expert. A computer engineering expert witness needs to not only have substantive expertise, but must also possess the ability to explain electronic evidence and technology to jurors. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, the legal team may request a technologist with prior expert witness experience.

What types of cases require a computer engineering expert witness?

The field of computer engineering is aimed at developing computer hardware and software, and integrates the fields of computer science and electronic engineering. Computer engineers focus on how computer systems work, and also how these systems integrate into the larger picture.

Court cases requiring computer engineering expert witness services can involve intellectual property litigation, such as software copyright, patent infringement, or trade secret disputes. A criminal investigation involving fraud or electronic discovery data can call for a computer forensic investigation.

Computer engineering expert witness case examples

Exemplar cases with expert witnesses placed by Cahn Litigation Services include:

• computer security patent infringement litigation,
• software design trade secrets,
• artificial intelligence,
• cybersecurity, or
• assisting law enforcement with a computer crime.

What litigation support work might a computer engineering expert witness be expected to perform?

Litigation support by a computer engineering expert could include forensic analyses, reverse engineering, authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, depositions, and courtroom testimony. In addition, a law firm may request a computer expert for pre-litigation consulting work.

Our firm has the experience required to turn a search around quickly and provide qualified candidates that mirror the specifications set by the law firm. Sourcing candidates for computer engineering patent litigation is a particular area of expertise at Cahn Litigation Services.
