If an architect, broker, accountant, financial advisor or other professional has failed to deliver work to the proper standard, the financial consequences can be sudden and severe.
We are dispute specialists. It is all we do. We have acted in hundreds of professional negligence claims on behalf of businesses and individuals. We are committed to deploying that expertise to help clients achieve the best possible result.
Our goals are aligned with yours: to achieve a satisfactory resolution as efficiently as possible and at the lowest possible cost. We provide trustworthy, authoritative and precise advice on your legal rights and strategic options.
We are prepared to negotiate on your behalf, minimising the need for protracted litigation. If an amicable resolution cannot be reached, we will represent you in Court.
We are experienced in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Mediation can be particularly effective in resolving the right cases. We have also acted in many arbitrations.
Professional negligence claims are brought against professionals who have breached their duty to exercise proper care, skill and diligence. To succeed, claimants must prove:
Duty of care: The professional owed them a duty of care.
Breach of duty: The professional failed to discharge their duty with reasonable skill and care, either by act or omission.
Damage: That a reasonably foreseeable harm or loss has been suffered.
Causation: The loss suffered was caused by the breach of duty.
There are time limits for bringing professional negligence claims. Generally, they must be brought within 6 years from the date the cause of action accrued. However, calculating the date for limitation is often not straightforward, and it is important to seek legal advice as early as possible so that a claim does not expire.
We act in claims against professionals in any field, including:
Experience: We have over a century of disputes experience.
Integrity: We value our integrity.
Service standards: We believe in service excellence. Our solicitors were trained in the litigation departments of some of the biggest international law firms. We maintain the highest standards of professionalism and communication throughout your case.
Bespoke service: Every case is unique, and professional negligence claims are often won or lost on small details. We get into the details and devise tailored strategies to achieve the best possible result.
Cost: We offer very competitive fee arrangements. We take some cases on a ‘no win no fee’ basis.
