What involvement does J S Publications have?

Whilst J S Publications has worked with Lockton to develop a high-quality insurance product tailored to the needs of expert witnesses at a market-beating price, we are not permitted to be involved in the highly regulated business of selling insurance. So, when taking out cover under the UK Register of Expert Witnesses Professional Indemnity Insurance scheme, you will be dealing directly with Lockton.
