Ecommerce Expert Witnesses
E-commerce expert witness candidates typically have expertise in digital marketing, computer science, social media, search engine optimization, consumer behavior, advertising, internet technology, information technology, and/or electronic commerce. Cahn Litigation Services is skilled and experienced at honing in on the ideal expert to provide expert witness services for e-commerce related matters.
E-commerce (electronic commerce) describes buying/selling via online services or over the Internet. There are many facets to electronic commerce including mobile payments, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, and inventory management systems. Examples of e-commerce activities include:
- Online shopping for retail sales direct to consumers,
- Online marketplaces,
- Business-to-business buying and selling,
- Marketing to potential and current customers, and
- Online financial trading.
The market for e-commerce activity is stunning: Statista predicts that in the United States alone, e-commerce sales will surpass $740 billion by 2023. Cahn Litigation Services expects to see an increase in e-commerce expert witness opportunities coming our way. E-commerce technology cases that would require technical expertise include intellectual property matters (such as patent infringement, trademark, software copyright), and fraud. Litigation support by an e-commerce expert witness could include technology analysis, an expert report, expert opinion, depositions, and expert testimony in court. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may require a specialist with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients often seek an e-commerce industry expert for expert consulting for pre-litigation work.
