Accountants, Actuaries & IFAs

The professional negligence claims we have defended against accountants include claims concerning company reorganisations, business valuations, share valuations and various tax issues.

Claims against IFAs can be particularly challenging with many of them arising from the provision of consumer-facing professional services. Our extensive experience in this area has included defending an IFA against a multi- million pound recovery action by the FSCS arising out of allegations of the mis-selling of structured and precipice bonds and the defence of a SIPP Operator seeking judicial review to clarify the duties of SIPP Operators to consumers when accepting investments into SIPPs. We have specific experience advising on coverage issues arising from IFA claims, including aggregation aspects.
