professional negligence

Businesses routinely rely on professional advisers (e.g. solicitors, accountants, surveyors, etc) for expert advice.  Sometimes the professional advisers get it wrong, particularly as the complexity of the work undertaken by them is increasing. 

In general, professional negligence takes place where the adviser fails to perform his / her responsibilities to the required standard.  The claim(s) against the adviser may be based on one or more of the following:

• breach of a term(s) (express or implied) of the contract
• breach of duty of care owed in the tortof negligence
• breach of fiduciary duty   
• breach of statutory duty

If you believe that your professional adviser has not performed to the required standard, we can advise you on: (i) whether you have a claim against that adviser; and (ii) the strategy to be adopted to achieve your objectives promptly and cost effectively.
