Farms Expert Witnesses
Farms expert witness candidates typically have a background and expertise in agricultural engineering, agribusiness, agricultural economics, farm management, food science and/or regulatory compliance. An expert witness needs to not only have expertise, but must also possess the ability to explain technology to lay people, such as a judge and jury.
Farming and farm technology encompasses a wide variety of operations, including arable farms, fish farms, vegetable and fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms. Matters requiring expert witness services can involve intellectual property, such as patent infringement litigation, or trade secret disputes. A farm expert could also be called in on breach of contract disputes, business valuation, agriculture equipment appraisal, food safety matters, fraud and misrepresentation, and supply chain issues. Litigation support by a farms expert witness could include expert report preparation, expert opinion, deposition testimony, and expert testimony in court. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a specialist with prior expert witness testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek an agricultural industry expert for pre-litigation consultant work.
