Withers' long-established professional negligence practice stands out as being one of the few practices to both pursue and defend professional negligence claims. This unique and versatile combination of acting for both sides enables the team to take a holistic and strategic view of disputes, making us particularly skilled at handling disputes in this area.
The team advises clients with claims against insured parties, particularly solicitors, valuers, accountants, tax advisors, engineers and investment advisors, as well as acting as trusted advisors to global insurance companies. We also are particularly well-known for our expertise in advising barristers on behalf of their insurers, through our long-standing relationship with Bar Mutual, covering a wide range of areas including family, pensions, tax, judicial review, aviation, real estate, planning, wills/trusts and litigation advice professional standards.
