Catherine Eassom, Elizabeth Hughes, Hugh Jones and Jill Rushton, and  are all available to receive instructions from other solicitors' practices to provide expert witness statements.

Our team of experts, 2024

Either as Directors of the Hugh Jones Trust Corporation Limited or Hugh Jones in his personal capacity acts as professional deputy for over 340 clients, supported by a multidisciplinary team of legal and financial experts. Hugh is appointed to the Office of the Public Guardian's Panel of External Deputies and Elizabeth Hughes is a member of the Court of Protection Court Users Group. 

The Directors of the Hugh Jones Trust Corporation are instructed as an expert witness for both Claimants and Defendants in claims where significant damages awards are involved. Court of Protection costs can form a significant part of the litigation claim and therefore it is important that they are valued properly. 

They currently receive instructions from over 30 different firms nationally and in addition to providing written statements, sometimes on an urgent basis, our experts advise in conference with counsel and appear as an expert witness at trial.

Contact Margaret Christodoulou, the Executive for the Expert witness team on Margaret.christodoulou@hughjonessolicitors.co.uk or on 0161 871 3686, if you'd like to discuss how the team can help.
