Drawing on many years of experience, our experts represent professionals in and out of court in the event of recourse claims. Market-leading professional liability insurers recommend that their policyholders be represented by the experts at FPS. 

The field of professional liability law is becoming increasingly important in view of the ever more complex legislative regulations and strict requirements of case law. The particular nature of this field of liability often makes representation by highly specialised lawyers essential. Through the practical experience of our experts in this area and the continuous training undertaken, the best possible defence against claims can be achieved.

Specialisation

  • Lawyer and notary liability

    One particular area of our work focuses on defending claims against lawyers and notaries.
    Having represented lawyers and notaries in recourse cases for many years, our experts have extensive knowledge of the range of duties along with the particular aspects of liability law and the relevant case law. The best possible defence strategy can thus be built and employed on this basis.

  • Insolvency administrator liability

    Our experts also represent insolvency administrators in liability cases. This is carried out on the recommendation of market-leading insurance companies in the field. In doing so, the experts draw on extensive knowledge of insolvency law and the relevant case law.

  • Tax consultant liability

    Defending liability claims asserted against tax consultants and tax consultancy firms is another key area of our work. In complex liability and cover cases and claims for major damages, insurance companies alternatively entrust us with the role of monitoring and coverage counsel. Our experts then combine their experience in the field of civil liability law with in-depth knowledge of tax law to represent the client in the best possible manner.

  • Auditor liability

    Our experts have particular knowledge in the field of auditor liability, which has been acquired over many years. Auditors are represented in all liability matters relating to the auditing and consulting business.

    There is a special focus on expertise in the area of annual auditor liability as well as liability in connection with reorganisation advice (including reorganisation reports pursuant to IDW S 6). In such claim situations – which often play out in the context of corporate insolvencies – our experts possess the necessary qualifications due to their existing expertise in the field of insolvency law in particular.
