Technology expert witnesses address cybersecurity breaches, software disputes, data privacy violations, and AI-related claims. Demand is surging as technology underpins nearly every sector of commerce.
Fee ranges in the technology category span from $350 – $700/hr at the hourly level. The wide range reflects significant variation by subspecialty, credential level, geographic market, and the nature of the engagement. Deposition and trial rates are typically 10–30% higher than standard case review rates.
When budgeting for a technology expert witness, plan for: (1) the initial retainer, typically equal to 20–40 hours of anticipated work; (2) ongoing hourly charges as the case develops; (3) separate deposition and trial rates; and (4) travel expenses at cost. Complex cases with voluminous records will require substantially more hours than straightforward matters.
