Litigation Support

Using investigation, analysis and testing, SEL provides expert testimony throughout the United States, U.S. territories and Canada for its clients. Following a scientific assessment of an accident site, laboratory testing and evaluation of materials involved, SEL presents the facts so that they are understood by courts, juries and other non-technical individuals.

As part of its litigation support capability, SEL can help clients develop litigation strategy, provide a fully developed on-line computer system for organizing, storing and retrieving large volumes of discovery and trial information, and assist attorneys and their staffs in the use of these systems.
