"I would describe your firm as the pre-eminent organisation in relation to the provision of expert employment reports.  I know that you often act for Defendants but such is your reputation of fair reporting that this does not prevent me or my firm from instructing you.  Indeed your fierce independence is one of the reasons that we do!".  Claimant lawyer

"As a personal injury lawyer, I have known and worked with Trevor Gilbert for more than 20 years.  He is respected for his attention to detail and an ability to provide a compelling non-partisan view of any case.  His healthy scepticism coupled with an ability to provide a balanced perspective are qualities I particularly value.  His contacts within the employment world are without equal".

Trevor Gilbert's expert witness practice, Trevor Gilbert & Associates,  is considered by many  lawyers and insurance companies to be the UK's leading provider of loss of earnings reports in matters of personal injury and clinical negligence litigation.  Please take a moment to check out the testimonials page.

He commenced practising as an employment expert in 1990 following many years experience in HR and recruitment (see Trevor Gilbert CV page) and still manages to find time in his busy schedule to be CEO of The TRG Group, vitally important for an expert witness in terms of keeping in touch with the real world of employment.  

Trevor is widely recognised for his expertise in providing original research and delivering world-class reports, addressing fundamental issues that lead to the very heart of the matter.  His professional opinion is much sought after, especially in complex and high value cases requiring forensic investigation and detailed analysis, and due to his sensitive approach to  interviewing disabled claimants is often the expert of choice. 

It is a matter of fact that Trevor's style of reporting has transformed the hitherto world of somewhat basic reporting which, 20 years ago, consisted mainly of  the employment consultant presenting a raft of tables on earnings and labour market data as expert evidence, and which in any event was usually provided by a researcher. Trevor's innovative approach of focusing the report on the individual and supported where necessary by hard, often forensic detail and original research (always carried out by Trevor) has been rewarded by the recognition he has received.  

Although completely comfortable interviewing claimants from every type of occupational category, Trevor has developed significant expertise in the field of  investment banking as a result of his extensive contacts acquired over a lifetime's employment within the City of London. The financial services industry, particularly investment banking, is notorious for its lack of transparency concerning remuneration, but as you will read from the testimonials Trevor is able to penetrate the fog which surrounds the industry and produced reports of such magnitude that in terms of loss of earnings cases have succeeded or failed in large part due to his evidence. There are very few, if any, expert witnesses able to deliver this high level of detail. 

Trevor has a number of other specialities upon which he is able to authoritatively comment. 

His lengthy history in and on behalf of the recruitment industry means he is able to deliver valid evidence of the recruitment practice of employment agencies and consultancies.

As a past area Chairman of the Prince's Youth Business Trust, added to his own experience of self-employment of 40 years, allows him to provide practical insight to small business operations.

Trevor also has valuable experience of the catering and hospitality industry, having owned a Good Food Guide recommended fine dining restaurant in the early 90's.  He is fully appraised of the employment structures and opportunities within the industry and, as with recruitment, he maintains strong links.

As a long-practising student and teacher of Japanese martial arts Trevor offers a healthy dose of reality when reporting on this often misunderstood sector.    

Trevor is very happy to look at papers without charge, to provide a 'gut-feeling' response where a case may be considered unlikely to succeed, as more often than not  important areas which may need further investigation can be overlooked.  A 'third eye'  may prove invaluable.

Confidential shadow reports, advices and critiques of other employment expert reports are provided where deemed appropriate by the appointor. 

Each member of Trevor's team of experts located throughout the UK has lengthy experience in a number of specific occupations and have authored reports across a very wide range of occupations. Although each expert is highly qualified and experienced, the team follows an established quality control during which each report is closely supervised by Trevor.  

All members of our team of employment experts are fully appraised of current recruitment and employment best practice.  Without exception, all possess significant hands-on experience in the real world of work.   We are not full-time expert witnesses.
