Professional Negligence
divider
Professional advisers are in a privileged position of trust but when professional standards do slip, decisive action is needed. A professional negligence dispute is always sensitive and can be particularly damaging for a business; so you’ll want to be sure your case is handled by a specialist team you can trust.

We act for financial institutions, companies and private individuals in actions against professionals operating in various sectors. Our team is a recognised leader in this field, with an impressive track record that has already attracted many major clients. We are widely regarded as experts in the legal position regarding the rights duties and obligations imposed on professionals and are well placed to assist in the resolution of disputes through litigation, arbitration or mediation.

We have been involved in several leading cases, including Bristol & West -v- Fancy and Jackson and Bristol & West -v- Mothew. We have the people and technology resources to deal with high volumes of work for major clients and are acting for several corporate clients in actions against accountants, solicitors, barristers, financial advisers and valuers.

Examples of our recent experience include:
  • acting on claims relating to the provision of accounting due diligence information in the context of corporate acquisitions; the preparation of audited and management accounts; and the provision of tax advice.
  • acting in negligence claims against surveyors relating to property surveys and valuations for Abbey
  • acting for Stroud & Swindon Building Society in actions against solicitors where those solicitors have failed to obtain good title and/or the required security on behalf of our clients.
