Professional Liability

Liability of professionals for errors in advice, performance or service delivery.

Professional Liability

Professionals such as accountants, notaries, estate agents, architects, advisors and lawyers can be liable for damage caused by an error in their service. This is called professional liability.

Whether you have suffered damage due to a professional's error, or you are being held liable as a professional for an alleged error, we assist you with expert legal advice.

When is a professional liable?

Attributable error (professional fault)
Breach of duty of care
Incorrect or incomplete advice
Exceeding the scope of the assignment
Breach of confidentiality obligation
Loss of chances due to negligence

The standard: reasonably competent and reasonably acting professional

In professional liability, the professional is assessed against the question: how would a reasonably competent and reasonably acting professional in the same circumstances have acted?

If the professional fell below this standard and damage resulted, liability can be established. We help you assess this and take the right steps.
