What follows below relates to an individual expert's entry the Register. If you would prefer the 'lead name' to be your company or organisation, corporate membership is more appropriate. Click here for details.
NB: Registration: Click here for a Sample Profile. This will give you some idea as to what is required in relation to content. Our system is geared for online registration. If you are unable to proceed this way, take a look at the Registration Form and supply the details required in written form via conventional mail with your cheque. We will then input the details on your behalf. Our postal address: X-Pro Witness Services, Unit 1523, Office 6, Slington House, Rankine Road, BASINGSTOKE RG24 8PH.
1: Please ensure compulsory fields are completed. There is an optional field relating to lawyer referees. You will increase the number of instructions you receive if you are able to include the details of two lawyer referees (who may be from the same firm) in your profile - please include contact names, telephone numbers and email if available. You must also create a unique user name and password in order to allow secure access to your profile in future.
NB: Selected Accreditations: Users of the site will be reassured by the expert's membership of an accreditation organisation or professional body (British Medical Association, Academy of Experts, etc.) Provide details within your profile & we will include the appropriate logo(s) & link(s).
2: The information supplied in the profile is uploaded directly to the Register and can be viewed online immediately. You can access your profile at will with your user name and password. If either are forgotten or lost, you can retrieve them through the use of a reminder which is built into the system. All our experts have a full page profile. Postcodes are always linked through Multimap whenever possible, pinpointing your location for site users. Experts should note that it is their responsibility to ensure they present a full, comprehensive profile. TIP: Include as many keywords as possible in the 'Expertise & Experience' field as the search engine scans that section for relevance. Check out the individual sample and our existing members' profiles for some examples.
3: If all is in order, we will register the expert for a period of 12 calendar months following the date that the profile was uploaded to the Register. The expert is thereafter able to update or modify the profile directly and instantly, without interference from X-Pro.
4: A photograph or company logo may be forwarded electronically with the form. Members may also include their own web site and email details, and we will provide direct links to these in the profile. Up to 2 addresses may be included per profile. Details of any further addresses can be included elsewhere in the profile (eg under 'Expertise & Experience' or 'Career').
5: OUR POLICY: Updates received from existing members are free, as is any advertising carried out your behalf. We don't believe in simply providing a list, and we therefore have a proactive policy in promoting our experts which involves regular contact with UK lawyers.
6: Articles / Papers: Once registered, you have the option to upload your articles for inclusion in your profile. If not in Acrobat (pdf.) format, we'll convert them for viewing by site users. There is no charge for the inclusion of articles.
7: For an annual supplemental fee, you can include a short 'soundbite' which can be a very useful marketing tool, as well as allowing you to expand upon your skills and experience. Go to the Sample Profile to see (and hear) how this works. Again, files are uploaded after registration. Please note that the quality of your clip depends on the source. We are not able to improve the quality of a clip with poor sound.
8: All members are automatically subscribed to our "Callout" facility - go to our "Contact/Help" page for further details. If you wish to opt out of "Callout", let us know and we will unsubscribe you.
9: Experts can only pay their annual fee in £ Sterling. Fees appear below:
Standard
£65
Optional Soundbite / Video Add
£20
10: Payment can be made by using a credit or debit card through our secure server - fast, efficient and safe.
11: Your Membership: Once paid, fees are deemed non-returnable. When you initially make your payment an annual subscription is set up on the secure server. You can check your profile hit rate at any time online, so you can come to an informed decision as to whether X-Pro has given you value for money. If you do nothing the subscription will renew for another 12 months, otherwise you may cancel your subscription and the renewal will not take place. It is for this reason that experts must make a note of their renewal date.
12: We reserve the right to remove experts from the Register if deemed appropriate.
