Professional Negligence
At some point you and your business will need to rely on professionals be they lawyers, surveyors, or financial advisers.
Blacks Solicitors’ Professional Negligence team provide a full range of dispute resolution services in relation to claims against professionals which includes negotiation, mediation, adjudication, expert determination, arbitration, and litigation in the Technology and Construction Court.
Has a professional adviser let you down, and caused you or your business losses?
The majority of the time professional advisers provide a proper service in accordance with their instructions and professional duties; but things can go wrong.
Professional Negligence is a breach of the duty of care, which professionals owe to their clients, that causes a loss, and most professionals carry insurance against which claims can be made.
Our team has extensive experience in dealing with claims against solicitors, barristers, accountants, mortgage brokers, and other advisers giving advice in a professional capacity.
