Professional liability

Why come to us:

Our professional liability lawyers have experience of advising both insurers and the insured on every type of issue that can arise under a professional indemnity policy. We strive always to give value for money and deliver a commercially successful result. Our eye never wavers from the bottom line and we don’t waste time on hypothetical options and academic arguments. We also recognise the need to keep you informed during what can be a stressful time.

How we can help:

We advise on all aspects of professional indemnity disputes, from complaints to professional bodies through to mediation and court proceedings.

What we’ve done:

Our professional liability lawyers cover all types of conflict and dispute: major project failures, large commercial contract disputes, civil wrongs, and errors and omissions.  We advise insurers on subrogated claims where recovery is sought through a third party. We also take witness evidence for use in foreign jurisdictions.

We advise both claimants and defendants from a range of professions working as sole traders, in companies and in partnerships:

Accountants and actuaries
Barristers
Directors and officers
Insurance brokers/underwriters
Solicitors
Surveyors, estate agents & valuers
Financial institutions & investment advisers
