Construction Professional Indemnity
We are aware of the reputational, financial and personal impact professional indemnity claims can have for individuals, companies and their insurers. We provide bespoke, pragmatic and high quality advice delivered in sophisticated, customised and creative ways. Each client receives what they value most – expert construction advice, tailored to their specific needs.
Overview
Our dedicated teams have expertise dealing with construction professional indemnity claims. Our specialist lawyers advise on high-value, complex, technically-challenging, multi-party claims involving the full range of construction professionals including architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, design and build contractors and specialist sub-contractors.
As well as handling high value and complicated construction matters, our teams have the versatility to deal with lower value (although often equally complex) construction claims where a proactive, decisive and cost-effective strategy is essential. However, regardless of the value, our experience shows that prompt analysis and determination of strategy can provide insurers with an early resolution so as to limit costs escalation.
Our specialism in claims of a professional indemnity nature means that we are both insurance and construction lawyers. We are able to advise on coverage, regulatory risk and manage the relations between insurers, brokers and insureds throughout the life of a claim.
