commercial disputes management: Professional Negligence

Dividing Line

Most businesses and individuals use professional services from time to time or on a regular basis. On occasion things can go wrong and negligent professional advice can cause financial or other losses. Sometimes decisive action is needed to preserve or restore a client’s financial position. In other cases losses need to be recovered whilst preserving a longstanding or valued relationship between client and professional.

Our team of specialist professional negligence lawyers provides advice and representation in assisting clients to recover their losses, negotiating with the professional’s insurers and if necessary as a last resort litigating claims against them. We also consider mediation of these kind of claims at all stages and we have a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes whilst avoiding the cost and delay involved in litigating claims of this kind through the courts.

We regularly act for clients in pursuing claims for negligent advice against professionals including solicitors, accountants, tax advisers and property professionals such as surveyors and architects. Working with our Equine team, we also handle claims against veterinary professionals.

We think our team is unique because all of our professional negligence lawyers are also specialists in the law relating to the professions they deal with. So for example, the members of our team who deal with claims against architects are also specialist construction lawyers in their own right; claims against surveyors are dealt with by lawyers who are also real estate disputes experts; and claims against accountants, tax advisers and the like are handled by experienced commercial disputes lawyers. In our experience this depth of knowledge and experience gives us a real edge over our competitors when pursuing these kind of claims.

In light of our established expertise in such claims, we have excellent links with leading sets of specialist barristers and an enviable list of independent expert witnesses ensuring speed of access and competitive pricing.

We offer a variety of pricing structures ranging from the traditional hourly charges to conditional fee arrangements. We also offer an initial free consultation of thirty minutes at which we will explore whether you have a claim or not, the work that will be needed to resolve it and the likely costs that will be involved. This allows you to be fully informed from the very start of your claim.
