Professional Negligence

Expert guidance and support to protect you if things go wrong.

Professionals are trusted to provide expert advice and services across all sectors. Whether you have been let down by a professional service provider, or are a professional facing a claim, our expert team is here to give you the clear and honest advice and fearless representation you need.


Our Expertise

At BCR, our expert team is experienced in pursuing and defending claims for negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and misrepresentation.
We act in claims involving a wide range of professionals, including:

  • Lawyers and advocates.
  • Accountants and auditors.
  • Financial advisers.
  • Fiduciary and corporate service providers.
  • Architects, engineers and builders.
  • Surveyors and valuers.
  • Medical professionals.


We also act for professionals facing disciplinary and regulatory proceedings brought by professional bodies. Our lawyers regularly appear before local tribunals and courts. Where Jersey professionals are subject to oversight by UK regulatory bodies, we work with leading UK counsel to ensure robust, well-coordinated representation.


Our Approach

We are known and respected for our clear thinking, practical advice, and strong advocacy. We develop a tailored strategy for every client to protect their position and achieve the best available outcome. We provide clear, commercial, advice from the outset, assessing liability, quantifying loss, and advising on the most effective route to resolution.

In every case, we consider not just the legal position but also the commercial and reputational context. Many professional negligence disputes can be resolved outside of court. We are highly experienced in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, including mediation and arbitration, and always seek to resolve matters as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. Where court proceedings are necessary, our skilled advocates provide the very best courtroom advocacy.

If you are involved in a professional negligence matter in Jersey, whether as plaintiff or defendant, contact us today. Our team is here to guide you through every step with confidence.
