Professional Negligence

We have an experienced team of lawyers who advise on professional negligence claims. Our teams deal with coverage, monitoring and defence work. CMS’ specialist team handles claims of all sizes, undertaking work in a number of areas including:

• Accountants & Actuaries
• Construction PI (including Architects, Engineers and Design & Construction Contractors)
• Financial Services Professionals
• Insurance Brokers
• Pension Professionals
• Solicitors
• Surveyors
• Technology

Our expertise has been gained over many years of instructions both from professional indemnity insurers on behalf of their insureds, and direct instructions from professionals. Our professional negligence teams are based in London, Bristol, Sheffield and Edinburgh. CMS provides access to our specialist lawyers in the UK and in other jurisdictions so that we can draw as needed on expert advice – from pensions lawyers in Paris to tax lawyers in Algiers.

Our team has an excellent reputation in the insurance market, with numerous insurer panel appointments.

Dispute resolution: We help our clients avoid litigation and provide expert advice to resolve disputes where possible. Our advice is clear, commercial and conscious of reputational risk. We will vigorously defend unmeritorious claims.

Full Service: As a full-service firm, we work closely with colleagues in areas such as tax and insolvency to provide comprehensive advice focused on achieving the best outcome.
