Professional Negligence

PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE

Legal claims against professionals (such as lawyers, surveyors and accountants) have increased exponentially as a result of greater public awareness of legal rights and an increase in the complexity of work undertaken by professionals.

A professional adviser may face claims based in contract, negligence or breach of statutory duty. Generally, professional negligence occurs where a professional fails to perform his responsibilities to the required standard.

Our team of lawyers deal with disputes involving:

• accountants
• architects
• barristers
• brokers
• engineers
• educational institutions
• project managers
• quantity surveyors
• solicitors
• surveyors (valuation and building)


We act for both claimants and defendants and offer fixed fee preliminary assessments and advice on a case by case basis.
