Areas of Practice

Professional Negligence

At Terra Firma Chambers we hold a strong core of counsel experienced in dealing with professional negligence cases. Whether acting for pursuer or defender, their practices encompass a wide range of professions and professional situations. Professional negligence litigation conducted successfully is not just about familiarity with the law and the exercise of advocacy skills. A feel for the way particular professions approach their work is an enormous benefit - one that comes with experience, and a willingness to listen to (and learn about) the practice in the profession concerned.

Allied to this area of practice, many of our counsel have also prosecuted and defended in professional disciplinary proceedings before a wide variety of tribunals, as well as appearing in the Court of Session in connection with relevant appeals and proceedings for judicial review.
