Marisa Shek

Disability Expert Witness - United Kingdom

Profile

In my expert witness capacity, I accept legal instructions to provide expert evidence for the quantum of accommodation claims in accordance with the Civil procedure Rules.

As an architect, I am trained to be a problem solver and I thrive on figuring out how to create environments that facilitate the best functional and holistic outcomes. A big part of that process involves gaining an understanding of the experience from the occupants point of view, so when I am designing a hospital it will be the patients as much as the caregivers.

So while the nature of work is very different to my expert witness role, it is fundamental in supporting it and providing me with the knowledge and expertise that accredits my ability to advise the Court.
