About Ariadne

Who we are

Small but mighty

Ariadne Expert Support is a boutique administration service offering specialised, bespoke support exclusively to medico-legal Expert Witnesses.

We remove the administrative burden that goes with running a medico-legal practice, allowing Expert Witnesses like you to focus on what you do best: delivering high-quality, independent opinions (not to mention having more time for your personal life).

Ariadne is headed up by founder Katie Osborne - a career Medico-legal Administrator.

Having managed two separate medico-legal businesses, Katie now brings her 20+ years of specialist experience to her own venture, working with a small team out of Aylesham, Kent.

how we do things

From the very start, we utilise our experience to anticipate your needs. In practice, this means knowing when certain requests are likely to come from solicitors and being prepared in advance to avoid delays. In liaising with legal teams we act in your best interests at all times, ensuring that any unreasonable requests are called out so your time is protected.

If you're new to Expert Witness work, we help to guide you through the legal processes, let you know what to expect and prepare you for what's next at every step of the way.
