Professional Negligence - London (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Alison Padfield KC has particular expertise in professional negligence claims brought against insurance brokers, drawing on her wider experience as a leading insurance silk. She is also well versed in the defence and prosecution of actions against solicitors, financial advisers, architects and others.
Strengths
We love Alison. She is hugely responsive, gets what is needed and can balance between quick spot calls, advice and shared written documents.
She is my go-to. Her knowledge of the law is unparalleled. She gets to the bottom of issues, provides clear advice and cuts through the nonsense.
Alison is a very confident advocate who will make mincemeat of her opposition.
