Professional Negligence

The commercial expertise of Brick Court Chambers makes us well suited to a broad spectrum of professional negligence work, and members of Chambers have acted in many of the most important professional negligence cases of the last decade, including Barings v Coopers & Lybrand, Equitable Life v Ernst & Young, MAN v Freightliner, and Elton John v PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

We have extensive experience across the whole range of commercial professional negligence claims, including cases at the cutting edge of the law. We act regularly in auditors' negligence actions, and in actions brought against solicitors (including leading City firms) and barristers. Our expertise in the insurance and reinsurance sectors also means that members of Chambers regularly act in negligence claims involving brokers and actuaries.

Some of our most recent cases of note include:

  • The TAG ("The Accident Group") Litigation (Commercial Court)
  • Charter v City Index (Court of Appeal)
  • Stone & Rolls v Moore Stephens (House of Lords)
  • The Football League v Hammond Suddards (Chancery Division)
  • Akai Group v Ernst & Young Hong Kong (pending)
