Professional Negligence

Crown Office Chambers undertakes all forms of professional negligence work, particularly construction and property related claims (involving architects, engineers, valuers, residential, commercial and quantity surveyors) and claims against solicitors and brokers. This area of work has been a core area of Chambers’ work for many years and Chambers enjoys a high reputation in these areas.

Chambers is also highly recommended for its high calibre and approachable counsel. They are academically able and are well-liked by lay and professional clients. They are result focussed. Their sound tactical and practical advice on litigious and non-contentious work is the product of years of experience. They have a great deal of court experience and are effective cross-examiners and advocates.

Specialists in Professional Negligence

Chambers is included in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Directories as one of the leading sets in the field of professional negligence. Many of those who practise in this field are identified individually in the directories as highly regarded. Crown Office Chambers is able to offer barristers at all levels of call with experience in every area. We have sufficient strength and depth to cater for all cases and requirements.

Members undertake all types of professional negligence work:

• construction and property related claims (involving architects, engineers, planners, valuers, and residential, commercial and quantity surveyors).
• claims for and against accountants, insurance brokers, insolvency practitioners, and other professionals in the financial services industry.
• disputes involving solicitors and barristers.

Members of Chambers act for a wide range of professional bodies and defence insurers, and specialise in related professional indemnity insurance litigation, advising and acting for both insurers and the professionals insured. We have a recognised expertise in “pure” insurance work, which complements our professional negligence practice.

Barristers at Crown Office Chambers have particular experience in claims involving construction and legal professionals. Recent cases have included disputes involving architects, engineers, project managers, building surveyors and town planners as well as solicitors. Chambers includes barristers who have previously worked in the fields of architecture and engineering. Crown Office Chambers is highly regarded in construction work generally.

We also have a separate practice area of clinical negligence and wide experience in regulatory and disciplinary matters. Members represent parties in hearings before professional bodies and sit on professional tribunals.

Members are extensively involved in ADR work, and Chambers offers a comprehensive mediation service for those using mediation to resolve their disputes.
