Wide experience in consultancy work and project management for domestic and international financial institutions has enabled Quadrant to pioneer a proven and effective contextual approach to the issue of contributory negligence. Our advice includes how best to maximise claims against professional advisers in the event of loss.

This contextual approach identifies and places lenders' activities in a series of disciplined environments, e.g. compliance (both internal and regulatory), peer and other competition and market circumstances, where their activities are judged against those practices prevailing at the relevant time.

Our continuing and expanding consultancy projects for financial institutions, building societies, centralised lenders, government agencies and private sector enterprises, both in the UK and overseas, provide a continuous update as to current regulation and best practice in the overall environment of lending and risk management. This ensures a balanced and well-informed approach to our management of expert witness work particularly in the following areas:

• Contributory negligence by financial institutions, building societies and centralised lenders 
• Mortgage indemnity guarantee arrangements
• Treasury products and services 
• Commercial lending 
• Specialised property lending, including construction finance
• Residential property lending for acquisition and re-finance 
• Instalment credit, including issues related to the Consumer Credit Act
• Compliance 
• Risk management in general
