London instructions — quick answers.
How quickly can you confirm an expert?
Most London instructions are triaged within the hour and a named consultant is confirmed the same working day — including CV, Part 35 declaration and conflict check. Urgent court-deadline cases are handled out of hours.
Do you provide urgent reports?
Yes. Expedited assessments are available for bail applications, fact-finding hearings and directions listings. We agree a short-form timetable at intake and keep you updated daily until the report is filed.
Do you charge London weighting?
No. Our fees are uniform across England and Wales. Clinic attendance is included in the assessment fee — travel outside Greater London is costed transparently in advance.
Can the claimant request a male or female expert?
Yes, as a matter of course. Preference is noted at intake and allocation adjusted accordingly without affecting the timetable.
Are LAA rates accepted?
Yes. We report at current LAA rates where prior authority has been granted and can provide draft scope and costings to support your Prior Authority application.
