We use our expertise and experience to manage and defend claims made against lawyers in NSW, as panel lawyers appointed by the Insurer.
Our team has over two decades of experience in defending claims against lawyers. We provide practical, commercially focused legal advice. We understand the complexities and sensitivities in defending professional negligence claims, and guide and support professionals through the process.
We also act for individuals and businesses on claims against accountants, advisers, engineers and other professionals across NSW.
How we help
We assess the claim hard and pursue or defend it efficiently. We:
- Advise on whether a professional owed you a duty and breached the required standard.
- Quantify the loss caused by the negligence and the prospects of recovery.
- Pursue claims against professionals and their insurers, by negotiation or in court.
- Defend professionals against allegations, working with their insurer.
Why clients choose Mullane Lindsay
Our professional negligence work draws on our litigation team, led by Director Kristy Nunn and Special Counsel David Collins, and our insurance experience acting for insurers, professionals and claimants. Where a claim forms part of a wider commercial dispute, we run both together.
