The Expert Networks

How It Works - AlphaSights conducts bespoke searches and vets all experts taking into consideration their clients' specific requirements. Ninety percent of all interactions take place within 72 hours of initial briefing. Clients interact directly with Experts via phone, in-person meetings, and full-day workshops.

How It Works - Clients contact AMFS with a brief synopsis of the medical issues present in the case they are pursuing. An inhouse Medical Director assists the client in clarifying the medical issues and recommends specific medical specialties to perform the in-depth medical analysis and testimony.

​

Clients then supply the relevant medical records and specific questions to be answered. The inhouse medical director conducts an initial review of the information and arranges to have the information reviewed by members of the multidisciplinary Physician advisory panel.
Within 10 days, the reviewing physician contacts the client to discuss the merits of the case. Following the initial review, AMFS can provide a certificate of merit that is required in some jurisdictions.

​

At this point, AMFS assists clients by interviewing experts on behalf of the clients and helping them in the selection process. The relevant medical issues in the case are presented to prospective Medical experts by inhouse physicians. To ensure objectivity, cases are presented "blind" so the prospective expert does not know whether the client is the defendant or plaintiff.

​

Once chosen, the expert provides an estimate of the time required for each required task. AMFS handles billing and collections as well as overall project management.
