Introduction

In recent times professionals, such as medical practitioners, lawyers, engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and insurance brokers, have become soft targets to be sued for professional negligence. This is mainly due to the fact that the public knows that professionals invariably have compulsory professional indemnity insurance cover for liability claims against them.

We understand the sensitivity about professionals being sued, on a reputational basis and by being professionally challenged by a former client or patient, and that these actions also have the potential to lead to negative media coverage for you.

As a professional you need equally professional advice if you are sued for negligence or malpractice. We can assist you during this difficult time with sensitive and tactful attention to the problem, and endeavour to resolve the issue with the least disruption to your career.
