“We engaged Terry Short as an environmental impacts expert witness (in particular, in relation to mine waste geochemistry) in a Planning and Environment Court Appeal. In his role as an impartial expert witness, Terry's written and oral evidence, which was subject to detailed scrutiny and opposing views, was of a very high standard and was ultimately accepted by the Court. Terry's evidence and involvement in the matter more generally was instrumental in our client achieving a positive outcome. On the personal side, Terry is a great bloke and a pleasure to work with, which is a view that is shared by the senior counsel and other experts involved. I look forward to working with Terry again.”
Terry Short is a high calibre expert witness with the credentials, experience, and reputation to match.
We can strengthen a court case with well-reasoned, clearly communicated expert opinions that withstand intense scrutiny. Our Principal Soil Scientist Terry Short has a strong, proven, and successful record of working with top tier law firms, other experts (including opposing experts), and senior counsel in Queensland and New South Wales.
