Expert Institute

Expert Institute operates a technology-driven platform that connects law firms with subject-matter experts for legal consulting and expert witness testimony. Serving attorneys and law firms across North America, the company maintains a database of over one million experts in various fields and provides services such as custom expert recruiting, AI-driven due diligence on experts, and medical record reviews. The platform collects detailed professional and personal information from its experts, including resumes, qualifications, fee schedules, and contact details. While this information is intended to facilitate connections with law firms, its centralization in a single platform could pose privacy risks if breached, potentially exposing experts to identity theft, fraud, or targeted harassment. To protect their information, professionals on the platform should carefully manage the data in their profiles and can contact the company to exercise their data rights as outlined in the privacy policy. Limiting the public availability of personal information and being selective about which case opportunities to pursue can also help mitigate potential risks.
