Technical Negligence Analysis

Professional negligence requires proving duty, breach, causation, and loss—often involving expert evidence on professional standards. We conduct rigorous technical analysis identifying actionable negligence and quantifying recoverable losses.

Expert Evidence

Successful professional negligence claims depend on compelling expert evidence. We work with leading professional experts across all disciplines—building persuasive cases on breach of duty and causation supported by credible expert testimony.

Professional negligence claims typically involve professional indemnity insurance. We coordinate with insurers, manage coverage issues, and navigate policy limits to maximise recovery prospects while managing defendants' insurance positions strategically.
