Here, at Porto & Reis, our experts are regularly appointed as Technical Assistants in Legal Proceedings and Arbitration Procedures.
This is a role that requires impartiality and seriousness. Do you know how it works?
During a judicial or arbitration proceeding, the parties to the dispute may request the judging authority to produce expert evidence to demonstrate their technical facts, whether in Public Law or Private Law.
If the dispute is in the Judiciary, the judge appoints a technical professional to conduct the said test, the 'Judicial Expert', and the party who wishes to nominate another professional, with the same training, to act as their representative, the so-called 'Technical Assistant'. ', enabling the expert work to be conducted with attention and the seriousness that each case requires, in order to provide the party with a technical voice with the Judicial Expert.
In the case of Arbitration, expert evidence can be carried out in different ways, such as with the appointment of an expert from the Arbitration Court, when the parties then appoint technical assistants, only with the production of Technical Opinions by the parties, including the Opposed Technical Opinions , in addition to other possible formats, such as the use of the Sachs Protocol.
Regardless of the scope in which the evidence will be developed or its form, it is always important that the party and its legal advisors can count on the support of a qualified professional to adequately address technical issues, which must always take into account the circumstances specific and particular to the specific case.
