Professional Negligence

About

Provided by Carson McDowell

We are by far the largest team of lawyers in Northern Ireland specialising exclusively in the defence of professional negligence claims.

We act for a wide range of professional indemnity insurers both directly and via major law firms in England and the Republic of Ireland.

Our team of professional indemnity specialists offers true depth of experience, with highly experienced lawyers not just at partner level but also at associate and assistant level.

Due to the significant volume of professional indemnity work we handle, we have developed expertise in defence of claims across the professional indemnity spectrum, including claims against solicitors, architects, engineers, surveyors, accountants and financial advisers.

We regularly advise insurers on coverage and policy issues. 

Our team is recognised as an authority in the area of professional indemnity and we are regularly approached to provide presentations on risk management and claims to professional bodies including the Law Society of Northern Ireland, to final year architecture students at Queen’s University and to construction industry bodies such as RICS, ACE and ICE.
