Since 2017 and the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower, multiple buildings of all types and usage have been found to have significant design and construction issues, creating serious life safety risks for the building users. These buildings require urgent remediation and mitigation to ensure the continued use of the buildings does not present a safety risk. To help determine the causes of the defects, the parties responsible, and to help ensure that all those who are culpable for the issues identified are held to account, Leviathan offers an industry-leading expert witness service for multiple legal firms and clients of all types, ranging from building owners, developers, architects, main contractors and façade sub-contractors.

Our expertise in analysing contractual and regulatory requirements sets us apart from others, and it allows us to provide technically excellent reports which also consider who is responsible and why. Our client-focused approach provides a personable service to our solicitor clients and the parties they represent, which frequently results in us being appointed for multiple expert witness cases for each instructing solicitor.

Leviathan’s expertise on expert witness work stems from its appointment as an expert witness for one of the commercial core participants at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. Our work analysing the fire safety design of the tower alongside the fire safety measures within the building and the dynamics of how the fire spread, helps inform the service we provide on all of our expert witness projects, resulting in Leviathan being a trusted partner whenever fire safety disputes arise.
