Professional Negligence
Professional negligence claims can be among the most consequential disputes an organisation or individual may face, with significant financial and reputational stakes. At Seladore, we represent clients on both sides of such matters, drawing on our deep experience in establishing or challenging the standard of care, assessing damages, and navigating professional regulations.
We have advised on major disputes involving law firms, accountancy practices, valuation professionals, and auction houses, frequently handling multi-faceted cases where the alleged negligence is intertwined with issues of fraud, conflict of interest, or breaches of fiduciary duties.
Our practice involves scrutinising complex evidence, engaging expert witnesses, and working closely with our clients to develop a clear, evidence-based narrative. This often requires a detailed understanding of professional codes of conduct, alongside regulatory obligations set by bodies such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority or the Financial Reporting Council.
By combining rigorous legal analysis with commercial pragmatism, we seek to resolve professional negligence disputes in a way that preserves our clients’ standing while maximising the prospects of a successful outcome.
