We are one of the few truly specialist litigation-only practices in the country, acting exclusively for claimants in high-value and high-profile professional negligence disputes. Our clients include corporates, trustees, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals.
When substantial financial losses arise from negligent professional advice or misconduct, you need more than a solicitor — you need a litigation team known nationally for strategic expertise, rigorous case preparation and a proven ability to deliver results against leading professional firms. Our lawyers are individually recognised as experts in their field and FS Litigation itself is renowned nationally for combining technical expertise with the tactical judgment needed to achieve results in the most challenging circumstances.
FS Litigation’s expertise and reputation in professional negligence claims is reflected in both the firm and its lawyers’ Band 1 ranking in Chambers and Partners where it is one of only three firms ranked, with the other two firms being defendant insurer firms.
We have extensive experience in complex and high-value claims against the whole range of professionals, including:
- Solicitors and barristers
- Accountants and auditors
- Financial advisers and wealth managers
- Tax specialists and pension consultants
- Surveyors, valuers and architects
Chambers & Partners“They were one step ahead of the opposition at all times during the case”
Andrew Grantham KC, Kings Chambers Chair of the British and Irish Commercial Bar Association“I would thoroughly recommend them for this type of work”
Chambers & Partners“Every member of the team demonstrates a quite remarkable depth of knowledge.”
Client testimonial“The team had to deal with very complex matters for both the commercial and professional negligence cases. I was absolutely amazed at their knowledge and experience”
High-value litigation requires careful consideration of costs and risk. FS Litigation offers sophisticated funding arrangements, including:
- Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs)
- After-the-event (ATE) insurance
- Damages-based agreements in appropriate circumstances
- Third-party funding in appropriate cases
Around 90% of our professional negligence cases are conducted on a contingent basis. Every case is assessed rigorously to ensure it meets the evidential and commercial standards required for a successful outcome. For further detail, see our dedicated page on managing litigation costs.
