Every January a team from 4 New Square Chambers starts the year with a widely-read article setting out the previous year’s key developments in professional liability and coverage.
We will also be hosting two live webinars via zoom – which will take place this year on Tuesday 20th January 2026 at 1 pm and on Wednesday 21st January 2026 at 4:30 pm. Please note, both webinars will each cover the same material.
Join Helen Evans KC, Marie Claire O’Kane, Jack Steer, and Will Birch for a comprehensive update on 2025 case law and a forward-looking discussion on emerging trends.

- AI, supervision, delegation and the impact of Ayinde and Mazur;
- Suing the wrong party- successor practices and novel arguments;
- Brokers’ and valuers’ updates;
- Limitation, including professionals identifying their own negligence, client suspicions and insurance issues;
