Our Focus
We handle claims involving:
Solicitors, conveyancers, and accountants
Financial advisers, brokers, and insurance agents
Engineers, architects, and building professionals
Medical and allied health practitioners (civil negligence context)
Misleading or negligent advice in professional or fiduciary settings
Breach of duty, contract, or statutory care obligations
Loss recovery and indemnity disputes under professional indemnity insurance
Our experience extends to advising both claimants and professionals, giving us balanced insight into how these disputes are assessed and resolved.
Our Approach
Professional negligence matters often involve a mix of legal, technical, and evidentiary issues.
We begin by identifying the duty owed, the standard of care, and the causation of loss, then assessing whether expert opinion is required to substantiate the claim or defence.
Where possible, we resolve claims through negotiation, mediation, or insurer involvement before litigation becomes necessary.
If proceedings are unavoidable, we prepare thoroughly and advocate firmly to ensure your position is presented clearly and persuasively.
For Clients (Claimants)
If you have received negligent advice or services that caused financial or reputational loss, we can assess your prospects, gather expert evidence, and pursue recovery.
We aim to achieve compensation that reflects both your financial loss and the disruption caused to your affairs or business.
For Professionals and Insurers
We act for professionals and insurers in defending negligence claims, responding to complaints, and assessing indemnity under professional policies.
Our advice is grounded in a practical understanding of the professional standards and insurance frameworks that apply in NSW.
