About

Provided by Arthur Cox

The Arthur Cox Professional Negligence department is best known for the advice it provides to a range of professional indemnity insurers/Lloyds syndicates defending claims brought against accountants, architects, brokers, engineers, surveyors etc.

We also act for a number of financial institutions in claims against professionals.


As with other practice areas, the size of the firm permits the multi-fee earner resourcing necessary to cope with the ever-increasing demands of modern litigation.

Partner Chris Ritchie is well known for his work in insurance-funded cases of all descriptions but particularly professional indemnity where he has been repeatedly identified by legal directories for excellence. This team as a whole is well-respected and credible and has the expertise and size to deal with the full breadth of professional negligence cases.
