Expert Witnesses Directory - join or renew today

APIL is the largest organisation for personal injury lawyers in the UK. Our expert witnesses and services directory is designed to speed up the litigation process by providing APIL members with suitably qualified experts to assist with their cases.

The directory is available to members online, in print through the APIL Expert and Rehabilitation Services Directory and as a bespoke personal service via our helpful, friendly staff in the Nottingham office.

“Wanted to say that someone has already instructed me from looking at my APIL profile so thank you!”, Dr Najma Khan-Bourne – within three weeks of joining the database

Become an associate APIL member

As well as joining the expert witness directory we encourage all experts to become associate members and help us build a brighter future for injured people. Membership benefits differ from appearing on our expert witness directory; full benefits of membership can be viewed on our Join APIL page.

One of the “side-effects” of membership is that other members approach me with instructions for medico-legal reports and just last week I received thirteen such instructions
