Housing ‘a range of very good juniors’, Gatehouse Chambers handles a breadth of professional negligence claims, including matters relating to property transactions, construction, and financial services. Nigel Jones KC and Sarah McCann were instructed to act for the claimant in Enterprise Insurance Company Plc (in liquidation) v EY Limited, a high-value case alleging negligence on behalf of the auditors. Daniel Gatty and Jack Dillon are both experienced property litigators who also handle professional liability cases within the sector. Michael Wheater KC was appointed silk in March 2024. Wheater’s professional negligence practice is complemented by his expertise in construction; one of his recent cases was OCL Facades v Absolute Insurance Brokers in which he represented a specialist cladding contractor in a claim against its insurance broker.
