Criminal negligence and professional liability
Defence in cases where criminal liability depends on duties of care, technical standards and causation.
Technical expertise is often central in negligence-based criminal proceedings. The facts must be assessed against the applicable standards of care and the available scientific knowledge.
The practice includes professional liability, workplace accidents and other cases involving injury or death allegedly caused by negligence.
Defence work
- analysis of the alleged duty of care;
- causation analysis;
- selection and coordination of technical experts;
- critical review of expert reports and court-appointed expertise;
- investigation and trial defence.
Each matter is assessed on its own facts and documentation. Where specialist expertise is required, the defence is developed together with appropriately qualified technical consultants.
