Provided by Edwin Coe LLP
In the modern business environment, businesses and individuals are increasingly reliant upon their professional advisors. When that advice is inadequate or simply wrong, you need an experienced team to resolve the problems that arise.
Edwin Coe has a long established reputation for excellence in the conduct of professional negligence and professional liability disputes. Members of our team have been at the forefront of many of the leading cases in this developing area of law. We regularly act in claims against insurance intermediaries, financial advisors, solicitors, accountants and surveyors. Furthermore, because we are not tied to any particular insurer, we rarely have to turn down instructions due to conflicts of interest.
Our expertise in insurance means that we are also instructed by individuals and firms seeking coverage advice on their D&O and professional indemnity insurance and in connection with liability and regulatory issues. We are advisors to the Insurance Brokers’ Standards Council and a number of leading organisations dedicated to refining the scope of the duties owed by professionals in specific sectors.
