Our firm has over 30 years' experience in handling professional negligence claims.  We have been involved in many of the leading cases concerning legal professionals' liability including Dubai Aluminium v Salaam, Paragon Finance Plc v Freshfields, Bhamjee v Forsdick, and the Nationwide litigation in which we defended some 500 sets of proceedings brought against solicitors.

Our work for solicitors includes large commercial claims arising from M&A advice, as well as smaller claims by private clients, or claims arising from conveyancing advice.   Clients include leading insurers of solicitors' practices, the Hong Kong Solicitors' Indemnity Fund, and Australia's Law Cover.

Our firm also acts for the English Bar Mutual Indemnity Fund on claims including large commercial actions against leading QCs and multiple claims by litigants-in-person arising out of public law issues. We are highly experienced at handling the most sensitive and confidential professional issues, and are recognised by legal directories as the leading firm in this area.

We have close relationships with numerous UK and international law firms and barristers' chambers, many of whom specifically ask their insurers to instruct us in claims against them. We have unrivalled knowledge of the open-market insurance arrangements introduced in 2000, and have acted on some of the largest claims to date under this new regime. Our firm has advised many leading insurers on policy wording, and is often called upon to advise on policy and coverage issues. 

By having a deep understanding of the challenges faced by lawyers, we are able to tailor our advice and offer practical risk management solutions.
