Expert Witness At BAS we have a team of rural business consultants offering independent advice as expert witnesses in agricultural matters and commercial, residential and agricultural property. Each expert witness is experienced in taking instructions, interpreting the evidence and preparing an opinion about liability and/or fundamental value on behalf of claimants and defendants as well as acting as Single Joint Expert. At all times, they are mindful of their duty to the court where they may be cross-examined on their views. Since 1999, the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) have developed court proceedings (including the role of the Expert) to narrow the issues, ensure professional opinion is robustly held and make sure that litigation is proportionate. Our team of expert valuers and business consultants pride themselves on true independence and well founded opinion based on the evidence they have gathered.

Arbitration / Mediation Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, where the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the "arbitrators", "arbiters" or "arbitral tribunal"), by whose decision (the "award") they agree to be bound. It is a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides. Other forms of ADR include mediation (a form of settlement negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party) and non-binding resolution by experts. Arbitration is often used for the resolution of commercial disputes.

Trusts and Estate Planning A primary purpose of estate planning is to distribute your assets according to your wishes after your death. Successful estate planning transfers your assets to your beneficiaries quickly and usually with minimal tax consequences, allowing operating businesses to maintain uninterupted business practices. The process of estate planning includes inventorying your assets and making a will and/or establishing a trust or foundation, often with an emphasis on minimizing taxes. There can be many other conditions that are desired by the current owner to be carried forward with the land and business.
