Our Professional Negligence Team

Professional negligence claims comprise an ever-expanding field of work. From traditional claims against Architects, Solicitors, Building Engineers and Estate Agents to more complex claims against Brokers, Investment advisors, Pension Trustees and Accountants, particularly those accountants who provide tax advice or sell tax schemes.

Having years of experience in handling these cases is key. That experience includes, getting a complete set of files from the proposed defendant before the claim begins, instructing the right professional expert (if needed) and establishing and proving all heads of loss.

Electronic disclosure from phones and other electronic devices can be important and is a particular speciality of ours.

Professional Negligence claims lend themselves to litigation funding. We have an excellent record of obtaining funding and working successfully on no win no fee terms.
