Professional negligence


Professionals are required by law to act as a competent practitioner would in the situation, and to the standards adopted in their profession.  Negligence claims can arise out of advice, action, or even the inaction of a professionals.

Claims can arise in respect of goods and services provided by a range of providers, in various circumstances:

  • Financial advice

  • Accounting services

  • Legal advice

  • Real estate misrepresentations

  • Engineering disputes

We act for both plaintiffs and defendants in professional negligence allegations.

Many professionals have professional indemnity insurance which means that an insurer will often ‘step in’ to defend a claim, or pay compensation.

We understand the process necessary to recover compensation, or to defend a claim.
