Professional Services

Strategic, practical advice and support for providers of professional services and their insurers.

As providers of advice on which other parties may take decisions and undertake commitments, providers of professional services are in a special, often vulnerable position.

In the event of disputes, complaints or claims, it will usually be necessary to call for support from a fellow adviser with specialist legal expertise.

Weightmans' Professional Services team serves a wide variety of disciplines across the whole professional sector, including insurance companies and practitioners such as lawyers, accountants, engineers, surveyors, architects, brokers and financial advisers.

As a practising professional adviser, we can provide you with advice on every area of risk – particularly reduction in risk exposure – together  with cost effective strategies for settling complaints and claims. We aim to resolve issues as swiftly and efficiently as possible, based on a firm understanding of the commercial context of your particular service.

We have considerable experience in the cost effective settlement of claims and the application of innovative measures to achieve satisfactory solutions to disputes. We are also regularly involved in the investigation of regulatory breaches and disciplinary offences, and frequently provide advice and representation in courts and tribunals.
