Professional Negligence
Royds represents and brings claims against professional people accused of negligence or unprofessional conduct. If you are involved in a professional negligence dispute with other organisations or individuals, Royds’ pragmatic and experienced lawyers provide invaluable advice and support to individuals, other professional advisers, businesses or in-house counsel teams.
Clients have sought our advice and help in disputes involving all kinds of professionals, including:
- Accountants
- Architects
- Barristers
- Engineers
- Financial Advisers
- Insurance Brokers
- Solicitors
- Surveyors
- Tax Advisers
As a result of our work in other areas, we are particularly experienced in professional negligence claims in construction and property matters and also in corporate disputes where there may be problems around valuation issues.
Professional negligence disputes often involve parties who have worked together for extended periods of time, and as such create great emotional and commercial strain. It is therefore essential that such disputes are conducted in a swift, efficient and cost effective manner.
Professional negligence disputes are usually well suited to Alternative Dispute Resolution, particularly mediation, and our approach is to bring all parties together to attempt to settle their grievances as soon as is appropriate – and in confidence – in any given case.
Professional negligence disputes often require substantial input from a team of specialist advisers, in addition to solicitors. Throughout our years of practising in this field we have a substantial database of expert advisers and barristers who can work with us as part of a cohesive team to make sure that your dispute is concluded on satisfactory terms as quickly as possible.
