How our solicitors can help with professional negligence
Key services offered
Professionals are instructed to advise on a wide range of matters. On occasion, this advice is wrong, which can result in businesses or individuals suffering financial losses.
We have extensive experience in dealing with professional negligence disputes, which enables us to focus our advice directly on the area most relevant to you. Our experience also means that you can be confident that your case will be dealt with by an appropriate specialist and supervised by a partner with significant knowledge of the issues .
We understand the importance of cost effective and timely advice. Our specialist team can advise on resolving a broad range of professional negligence disputes. Our primary objective is to achieve the best overall outcome for you. We aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible through commercial negotiations, or alternative dispute resolution (including arbitration, adjudication and mediation).
Where alternative resolution isn’t possible, we’re equally comfortable taking matters to trial where we’ll robustly defend your interests.
We can help you with claims against professionals, including:
- legal professionals
- accountants, auditors and tax advisers
- surveyors and valuers
- construction professionals, including contract administrators
- insurers and brokers
- financial advisers
- trustees
