When a professional person fails to do their job to the standards expected, you can be left with a substantial financial loss. Gateley’s professional negligence lawyers are here to help.

A duty of care is owed by a professional person to their clients – they must perform their job with reasonable care and to a reasonable standard. Where they have failed to do so, and this has caused loss, professional negligence has occurred.

What do we do?

Our expert professional negligence lawyers advise on all aspects of professional negligence cases, whether that advice has been given by a solicitor, accountant, tax adviser, financial adviser, or property or construction professional. We’ve also developed a niche practice that specialises in defending and litigating against insolvency practitioners and advising on claims against offshore accountants and auditors. These cases are often high-value, complex and cross-border.

Gateley has a strong reputation in professional negligence, particularly on construction-related cases.
