The Challenge

A solicitor handling a time-sensitive clinical negligence claim involving early-stage oesophageal cancer needed a gastrointestinal expert report. The first quote they received was £6,560 - an amount that risked eroding recoverable costs and compromising the case’s commercial viability.

INNEG’s Intervention

Rather than proceeding with the quoted fee, INNEG:

• Negotiated the initial quote down by over £2,000

• Sourced an alternative gastrointestinal expert through our 13,000+ vetted panel

• Confirmed that the second expert had equivalent clinical and medico-legal experience

• Offered both option - allowing the solicitor to make an informed, cost-conscious choice

Outcome for the Solicitor

• Total saving: £3,760

• No compromise on expert qualifications, report quality, or turnaround time

• Case remained financially viable, especially under fixed-cost or CFA arrangements

• INNEG managed the full sourcing and negotiation process - saving solicitor time

Expert fees can quickly become unrecoverable overhead in CN litigation. INNEG helped this solicitor avoid that outcome by combining commercial awareness with extensive sourcing reach - ensuring cost-efficiency and evidential strength.
