Our barristers act across the full range of professional negligence disputes in all business sectors, including claims involving solicitors, barristers, auditors, accountants, investors, taxation advisers and auctioneers.

We represent both claimants and defendants on high and low value claims, discrete issues, and multi-party and group litigation. Our members routinely advise at the pre-action stage and, where required, on coverage and related insurance issues.

Professional negligence intersects with a number of our core practice areas notably commercial litigation, banking and financial services, and regulatory, and we frequently handle company, insolvency and property-related claims.

This depth and breadth of expertise and knowledge enables us to offer clients an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach.
