About
Provided by St John's Chambers
St John’s Chambers has an experienced team of professional negligence barristers who advise and represent individuals on a wide range of disputes concerning breach of contract and duty.
Professional negligence claims can be complex matters, involving difficult issues about the nature and scope of the professional’s duty of care, and about liability, reliance, causation, loss, contributory negligence, mitigation and limitation.
Our barristers analyse professional negligence claims carefully, in order to be able to provide the best possible advice about prospects and strategy. We understand the importance in professional negligence claims of gaining a thorough understanding of the negligence alleged and the way in which it is said to have caused the client to suffer loss. If a claim is strong, our barristers will say so, but will likewise advise if a claim is weak or uncertain. We appreciate that it is critically important for clients to be given a thorough, accurate and realistic appraisal of their prospects, so that they can make properly informed decisions about how to proceed.
Our team has barristers across the spectrum of seniority so that we can select a barrister with the right level of seniority for any claim. Some members of the team are professional negligence specialists who are experienced in claims against a wide range of professionals in many differing factual situations.
Our barristers are experienced in claims relating to their particular practice areas.
