What can I do for you

Niall is responsible for the Manchester insurance team. He defends claims of professional negligence against many professions, but most often for lawyers. Niall often deals with issues of professional discipline, as well as coverage issues for insurers. Chambers 2021 says "The whole team is fantastic and has an absolutely outstanding client care model".

What do others say

"Niall Innes sets the standard by which I judge professional negligence solicitors": Legal 500

Of the team "Outstanding practice on every level. Advice, service and administration are all first rate.": Legal 500

"He is determined, knowledgeable and a good communicator" - Chambers 2021.

Supporting your ambitions

For insured clients, Niall's role is to resolve claims against them. Ideally to defend or dismiss them but sometimes is it necessary to reach a justified and sensible resolution, often whilst maintaining their own professional relationship. The key is to do so quickly, and sometimes quietly. 

He has recently had various claims dismissed against solicitors and barristers  

Niall deals with coverage issues efficiently and effectively, taking the points necessary to achieve the outcome they need. 

What else should you know?

Niall enjoys cycling, although he is very slow. Until a recent injury Niall tried Jiu Jitsu for some years and has a Brown Belt. Niall is married with two boys who regularly explain why they know far more than he does!
