How It Works
From profile to instruction in three steps
Create your profile
Upload your CV and our AI pre-fills your qualifications, specialisms, and experience. Review and publish in under 20 minutes.
Get matched to relevant cases
When a legal professional describes a case that fits your expertise, jurisdiction, and availability, you appear in their results.
Receive instructions directly
The legal professional contacts you through the platform. You respond, agree terms, and proceed — entirely on your own terms.
Why instruct.expert
Built for expert witnesses, not against them
Matched to the right cases
Our engine analyses the facts of each case and matches it to the expert whose specific expertise, jurisdiction, and availability genuinely fit — not just keyword searches.
No intermediaries, ever
Legal professionals contact you directly. You set your fees, manage your own relationship, and retain full professional autonomy. We do not take a commission.
A curated network
Every expert is manually reviewed before their profile is approved. You are not competing with unqualified listings — the quality of the network reflects on you.
