Professional negligence claims
Our professional negligence team acts for claimants in a wide variety of professional negligence disputes against solicitors, valuers, accountants and other professionals, as well as defending professionals on the instructions of insurers.
As the recent Corporate Manslaughter Act shows, companies should be up to date with their relevant systems and procedures. That act – following a high-profile inquest of a workman who suffered a heart attack and died when scaffolding collapsed around him – has left companies potentially more vulnerable to corporate manslaughter actions.
Making a negligence claim against a professional adviser is often seen as a highly complex task. Professionals are employed for their expertise in their given field but when their advice falls short of acceptable standards, action needs to be taken.
Our professional negligence team understand the sensitivities involved and provide reassurance and, an objective and realistic assessment of the strength of any claim.
