As the roles of surveyors and
valuers have expanded considerably in the last decade, so the
claims against them have also widened in scope. Our firm's
specialist surveyors' and valuers' liability team are highly
experienced in advising on all manner of disputes involving these
professionals, including claims arising from:
- the valuation of land and buildings;
- property management;
- planning enquiries;
- rent reviews/arbitrations;
- land contamination and environmental problems;
- statements for inclusion in prospectuses;
- advice given in connection with fund and capital-raising
activities;
- agency liability and liability arising from portfolio
management and advisory work; and
- multi-jurisdictional activities.
Our experience extends to advising
on the recovery of unpaid professional fees (including abortive
fees) and on the wide range of contractual and commercial disputes
that can arise between parties. In addition, our team can draw on
the firm's extensive expertise in wider insurance and policy
coverage issues.
Our clients include many leading
national and international surveyor firms, and their professional
indemnity insurers. We also serve as the RICS Market Liaison legal
advisor.
We are committed to the development
of the industry, and provide regular seminars and briefing notes to
our clients on risk management and claims prevention issues, and on
the various legal developments impacting on the surveying
profession.
