Royalty accounting and rights valuation expert witnesses
Forensic royalty accounting and valuation of media and entertainment rights.
Request an expertRoyalty and rights disputes hinge on the numbers behind complex licensing arrangements. Our experts audit royalty statements, quantify under-payment and value intellectual property and media rights.
In media & entertainment, the difference between a strong case and a weak one often comes down to whether the expert truly understands the sector. Generalist opinion rarely survives scrutiny on specialist questions, and a tribunal gives little weight to evidence that misreads how media & entertainment actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a royalty accounting and rights valuation expert witness do?
They give independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on royalty accounting and rights valuation issues within media & entertainment, with an overriding duty to the court under CPR Part 35. The opinion usually takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a royalty accounting and rights valuation expert?
As soon as the issues are clear. Early instruction helps you test the strengths and weaknesses of the case, scope the evidence proportionately and avoid a rushed report against a deadline.
How do you select experts for royalty accounting and rights valuation matters?
On substance — relevant qualifications, genuine media & entertainment experience and an understanding of an expert's duties in litigation and arbitration. Where an expert has limited experience of giving evidence, we say so.
