Unisearch
Unisearch is Australia’s leading and most established provider of expert opinion services. Since 1959, Unisearch has provided the legal fraternity access to an extensive, and often exclusive, knowledge bank comprised of unrivalled academic and renowned industry leaders. Engaging with a Unisearch expert strengthens a case with well-reasoned, clearly-communicated expert opinions that can withstand scrutiny. As such, appointing a Unisearch expert saves time, minimises risk, reduces complexity and increases confidence. Read The Practitioner’s Guide to Briefing Experts here.
