The purpose of this article is to study the problems associated with the introduction of digitalisation into forensic expert activity in Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study was the dialectical approach of scientific knowledge of phenomena and processes in their interconnection, mutual dependence, repeatability and advance of their development, which reveals the unity of the object in its complex and diverse manifestations. The study of digitalisation for forensic activities was largely guided by such general categories of dialectics as essence and phenomenon, form and content, possibility and reality. The issues of legal regulation of the digitalisation of forensic expert activity should be addressed in conjunction with the development of digital economy legislation. The author considers the relevant legislative provisions which affect the issues of digitalisation of forensic expert activity in the context of digital economy development. The status of experts who are employees of state specialised institutions is ambiguous: on the one hand, an expert of a state specialised institution is personally responsible for the expert opinion provided on the matters under investigation, and on the other hand, he or she must comply with the requirements of the management of the state specialised institution where he or she works. The court should be able to send rulings on the appointment of an expert examination both to the Unified Judiciary Information Telecommunication System e-Cabinet of a state specialised institution and to the Unified Judiciary Information Telecommunication System e-Cabinet of a particular forensic expert of a state specialised institution.
