WHAT WE DO / INSURANCE & REINSURANCE / PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE
“…no-nonsense and practical advice…” Chambers & Partners, 2009
One aspect of the modern ‘compensation culture’, which no business can afford to ignore, is the growth in the exposure of professional advisers to legal claims. This is fuelled by an elevation in the law’s expectations, over the last decade, of the standards of performance required on the part of those advisers – brokers being an obvious example.
High value and complex professional negligence work has been a feature of Ince & Co’s insurance practice for many years. Today we have diversified into almost every type of professional exposure. The professional negligence group is regularly instructed to advise insureds, insurers and those who assert claims against them. The spread of industries in which they have been involved is considerable, encompassing the legal, accounting, actuarial, insurance broking, ship broking and surveying, engineering, directors and officers and financial institutions fields.
On the non-contentious side, our lawyers regularly advise insurers active in the professional liability market on policy drafting.
