Civil liability and damages
Civil liability actions for material, personal and financial damages arising from breaches, negligence, accidents and construction defects. Assessment of the extent of harm and development of claims or defences with a rigorous evidentiary basis.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Identifying the harmful event
We analyse the facts, the causal link between the event and the resulting damage, and the attribution of conduct to the responsible party to build a solid foundation for the claim.
Assessing and evidencing the damage
We quantify the economic extent of the material, personal or financial damage with expert support where needed, and organise the evidentiary basis for the claim.
Pre-litigation claim or defence
We submit the claim to the responsible party or their insurer, or build the defence against a damages claim, always exploring a negotiated solution before resorting to litigation.
Civil litigation and expert monitoring
When the dispute reaches trial, we direct the litigation strategy, coordinate expert evidence and manage all proceedings through to judgment and enforcement.
Who this is for
Companies and individuals who have suffered damage from professional negligence, construction defects, accidents, contractual breaches or third-party conduct. Also insurers, developers and professionals requiring defence against civil liability claims.
