Forensic Consultant careers

A Forensic Consultant provides expert analysis and advice on forensic evidence for legal cases. You might work with law enforcement, legal teams, or private agencies. Forensic Consultants focus on collecting, analysing, and interpreting physical evidence, such as DNA, fingerprints, or digital data. You’ll prepare detailed reports and may testify in court to support investigations and legal proceedings.

Forensic Consultants play a critical role in the justice system. You’ll need to have strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex information clearly. You’ll collaborate with legal professionals and investigators to ensure that forensic evidence is accurately understood and used effectively in court cases.
