Davis Blank Furniss Confirms Professional Negligence Event

Manchester based law firm – Davis Blank Furniss – has announced details of its next breakfast seminar which will be covering Professional Negligence. It will be taking place at 8.30am on 27th June at its Deansgate office. The task of running a business is virtually impossible without the assistance of “the professionals”; from setting up your business, to buying or leasing commercial premises, to managing your financials, companies have no option but to put their trust in a chosen professional. But what if the “trusted advisor” lets you down, costs you more money, or is negligent? What should you be looking for? What is the difference between poor service and negligence?

During this free session, Paul Walton - consultant and head of the professional negligence team at Davis Blank Furniss - will cover the types of claims in negligence that can arise against solicitors and other professionals - such as accountants and estate agents - and he will also provide hints as to what to look out for when considering a claim. The session will include example case histories as well as the recent changes in the Law concerning professional negligence claims and the funding of claims.

Paul commented: “We are seeing more and more clients coming into the office who have received negligent advice; many of whom have lost both money and business as a result. The aim of this session is to inform and also educate.”

Bookings can be made via the Davis Blank Furniss website
