Expert Witness & Probate Services

Wildlife Law provides specialist expert witness services, valuation reports, and regulatory guidance relating to items derived from protected and endangered species.

Our expertise supports law firms, private clients, executors, and courts requiring specialist guidance relating to wildlife trade regulations, CITES compliance, provenance, species identification, and valuation assessments.

We have experience assisting with:

• Expert witness reports
• Species identification
• Provenance research
• Annex A and endangered species assessments
• Regulatory compliance reviews

Many items containing ivory, tortoiseshell, taxidermy specimens, reptile skin, whalebone, rosewood, and other protected materials require specialist knowledge to accurately assess legality, age, provenance, and market value.

Wildlife Law maintains ongoing dialogue with regulatory authorities including the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and Natural England, helping ensure our guidance reflects current legislation and regulatory interpretation.

Our reports are prepared with professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail, providing clients and legal professionals with clear and reliable assessments relating to wildlife trade regulations and protected species.
