Expert Witness Opinions and Litigation Support
Our Scientific Experts Provide Practical, Evidence-Informed, Un-Biased and Independent Opinions to Support Legal Proceedings
There are a wide range of circumstances in which an independent opinion of value is required, and each different scenario requires specialist knowledge and the application of specific skills.
It is now unequivocal that anthropogenic activities present substantial uncertainty and shapes important decisions about the structure of economies, human development, and natural resource use. Often, there is the need to balance engineering and environmental design, and the sustainability of ecosystems upon which humans and biodiversity rely on for survival. The conflict between economic growth and the environment is complex and sharper today than ever before. Across provincial, territorial, and federal governments and Indigenous communities, environmental regulations and compliance enforcement strategies have been put in place to manage carbondioxide emissions, pollution problems, biodiversity loss, water security issues, and waste reduction, with the aim of minimising the impact on health and on the environment.
Relatedly, more extreme weather and climate events are expected as the climate continues to change. The frequency, intensity, and timing of events are expected to increase while slow-onset incremental changes may lead to fundamental transformation of the socio-economic system. Recent extreme events in Canada have provided insight into what continued climatic change might mean for operational decision-making throughout the country—floods affecting management and road systems, degradation of permafrost threatening the integrity of building structures, more extreme weather events inundating coastlines and disrupting essential services.
