Professional negligence
- We advise in relation to a wide range of professional negligence issues in a variety of regulated commercial settings across the legal, financial and insurance sectors to hold professional advisers to account for their standards of service and quality of advice.
- Our experience in this area extends to insurance issues, including disputes as to coverage or the interpretation of policy terms which can be critical from an enforcement perspective or to assess the viability of a claim.
- We specialise in claims involving breach of trust and breach of fiduciary duties, or other forms of breach of duty.
- We are commercially focused in terms of securing financial recoveries as cost effectively as possible, and have strong links with the commercial litigation funding market.
