Practice — Professional Indemnity
Defending the professionals others rely on.
We act for financial and legal professionals — and their insurers — defending claims of negligence, breach of duty and breach of trust. Partner-led from the first notification through to trial, mediation or commercial resolution.
How we help
The work, in plain terms.
- Pre-action review of circumstances and notification advice.
- Strategic defence of claims, including those of significant value and complexity.
- Mediation, arbitration and ADR — increasingly the centre of gravity in PI work.
- Trial advocacy with carefully selected counsel.
- Coverage liaison between insured and insurer where interests align — or diverge.
- Recovery actions against third parties where appropriate.
Relevant sectors
Who this is for
