The ‘impressive’ team at Eversheds LLP pursues claims for lending institutions such as Santander and Deutsche Bank, specialising in fraud/professional negligence and title defect work. It is currently advising on a number of multimillion-pound mortgage fraud and property valuation cases. The team is led by ‘cool negotiator’ William Ellerton, and provides a ‘fantastic’ level of service: ‘expensive but worth it’.

Morgan Cole is renowned for its expertise in the field, particularly for solicitors’ negligence and coverage advice; lender claims featured prominently in its caseload in 2011. The ‘excellent’ Clare Hughes-Williams is ‘second to none’ on coverage issues, and is ‘sensitive to clients’ needs’.

Lyndon Richards has joined Acuity Legal Limited from Beale and Company Solicitors LLP, and specialises in cases involving architects, engineers and surveyors.

At Berry Smith, Iwan Doull is a ‘leader in the field’ and provides an ‘excellent level of service’. Much of the team’s work is property related, reflecting the firm’s client base and Doull’s background.

The ‘professional, conscientious and committed’ Stephen Thompson and experienced Ian Herbert at Darwin Gray produce work of the ‘highest’ standard.

Richard Locke leads at Hugh James; it attracts instructions from insurers such as DAS and ARAG, and also from uninsured professionals.

JCP Solicitors has a growing team focused on lender services; it is led by Kevin O’Brien, and was strengthened by the arrival of John Watkins, previously of Eversheds LLP. Recent instructions include seven-figure mortgage fraud and valuation claims.

At Dolmans Solicitors, Alison Henders-Green is highly regarded for her lender services work, providing ‘an excellent level of service’; advice is ‘sound, robust and always comprehensive’.

Alex Pay and Chris Mayers at MLM Cartwright are recommended.
