When do professionals’ risks end and their clients’ risk begin?

Helen Evans KC and Amanda Savage KC, 4 New Square

This session promises to be a one-stop-shop for anyone engaged in professional negligence claims, considering the boundaries of professional responsibility and where professionals’ risks end and their clients’ risks begin. The talk will cover scope of duty, the duty nexus, limitations of liability, how contribution really works in professional negligence cases, and what AI is likely to do to the boundaries of professional responsibility. In doing so, the speakers will address a number of the key recent authorities (Niprose, Wine Enterprise, Afan Valley, Convrgnt and Gordeno.)

Attendance is not limited to LSLA members. 

The cost is £35 for members (non-members £45).
