Medico-Legal Services

At Microbiology Consulting, we provide specialist medico-legal expertise to the legal sector in cases involving a wide range of microbes, with particular expertise in foodborne illness and infectious disease. With extensive academic and practical experience in applied microbiology, we deliver clear, evidence-based insight to support both claimant and defendant litigation.

We understand the complexities of cases involving suspected food poisoning or travel-related infections, where robust scientific interpretation is essential. Our role is to evaluate medical records, laboratory data, and epidemiological evidence to determine the likely source, mechanism, and impact of illness. This enables solicitors to build stronger cases grounded in objective, authoritative opinion.

Our medico-legal reports are thorough, balanced, and written in plain language, ensuring clarity for the Court and accessibility for clients. We are experienced in providing independent expert witness testimony and meeting the standards expected under CPR Part 35.

By engaging our services, solicitors gain access to specialist expertise that strengthens case preparation, enhances client outcomes, and brings confidence in navigating technically complex claims. Whether advising on individual cases or offering strategic guidance in large-scale litigation, we combine rigorous science with practical understanding of the legal process.
