The firm is frequently instructed in disputes between professionals and their clients over professional fees. The professionals include solicitors, accountants, architects and surveyors. Normally, we represent the professionals but, in meritorious cases, we will accept instructions on behalf of the client.

The bulk of our work in this field is contentious work because a dispute has already arisen. But, of course, the key to avoiding disputes over fees or, if a dispute arises, to its fair and efficient resolution is for the professional firm to have professionally-drafted terms of business. To assist our professional clients, we also offer our services in this area. Because of the nature of our business, our advice has frequently been tested in court over the years and our handiwork now features in many of the leading textbooks.
