Elaine Motion
We have considerable experience in the resolution of claims against professionals for both claimants and professionals who have been the subject of a claim.
Clients naturally wish to preserve confidentiality and to see matters resolved without interruption to business, and where possible, to retain the professional relationship.
We are well used to handling professional negligence claims against accountants, solicitors, architects and surveyors, who all have a strong interest in maintaining their professional reputation and their clientele.
We advise on a number of claims of high value and technical difficulty.
We act for Royal and Sun Alliance and the lead insurers under the Law Society of Scotland Master Policy for Professional Indemnity Insurance, as well as for other insurers and claimants in cases involving a wide range of professions.
Our team of professional negligence solicitors support businesses across Scotland. The team boasts has strong litigation and mediation skills and is able to call on the firm’s in-house Solicitor Advocates, Elaine Motion, Fiona Muirs and Robert Holland who who can represent you in the Higher courts if necessary saving you additional fees.
