Professional negligence
Legal advisory and defendant service for practitioners
across the professional service spectrum, from lawyers to IT
consultants.
Claims for professional negligence can be
damaging, not only financially but also in terms of their effect on
advisers’ reputations and potential disruption to their
professional activities. Successful defence of such claims requires
a strategic approach based on skilled mediation, negotiation and
representation.
Weightmans' Professional Negligence team is
experienced in handling all kinds of claims across a diverse range
of professional disciplines. We act regularly on behalf of
insurers, professional practices and regulatory bodies, and we have
particular experience in dealing with the legal, brokers,
construction and financial services sectors.
The hallmarks of our service are a commercial,
pragmatic approach, sound technical expertise and a clear
understanding of your objectives as a client. We adopt a friendly,
straightforward approach and ensure that our advice is delivered in
a down-to-earth fashion.
Our administrative processes are designed to
provide you with an efficient, effective and transparent service,
and our highly developed case management systems ensure that you
are kept informed of progress on your case at all times.
Members of our team have dealt with a number
of high profile and sensitive issues with far reaching
implications, and have litigated cases in which landmark decisions
have been achieved. We have helped to resolve claims worth over
£100m by means of mediation during the last year.
Weightmans' Professional Negligence team have
been rated the best in the region by the Legal 500 for several
years, and our strength in depth continues to receive recognition
at regional and national levels.
