Nick RundleEversheds Sutherland (International) LLP

Making efficient use of legal technology and also often acting on a contingency basis, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP provides a ‘responsive and cost-effective’ service to banks in professional negligence claims brought against solicitors and surveyors stemming primarily from secured commercial and residential lending. Nick Rundle is often at the forefront of this secured recoveries work arising from commercial lending, as is Wayne Davies , who is ‘easy to deal with and good at gathering together the correct information’, including in cases involving large portfolios both under commercial ownership or owned by individual buy-to-let landlords. Gareth Vowles has ‘a commercial approach which ensures the best result for clients’, including intermediaries, lenders and asset managers as defendants in claims arising from alleged negligent advice and/or the mis-selling of a myriad of financial products – instructions which account for some of his workload in his role as head of the office’s financial services disputes and investigations team. As well as handling claimant work for banks, including in the context of professional negligence allegations of mortgage fraud, James Coleman also regularly acts for financial institutions clients in internal and regulatory investigations.
