Malcolm Rogers Email & Phone Number

I am a Partner in the Professional Liability team in Leeds, which is part of the Global Risks group at DWF. I have more than fifteen years' experience of defending claims against professionals and advising insurers in relation to policy cover. I act for clients on a wide-range of disputes including many complex and technical issues and a number of multi-million pound claims. I regularly defend professional negligence claims against a wide variety of construction professionals, such as architects and engineers, as well as solicitors, accountants and brokers. I recently acted for a firm of structural engineers in relation to a £30m dispute arising from the allegedly negligent design of the hardstanding area external to a warehouse for a well-known builders' merchant. A significant part of my work includes advising insurers in relation to matters of insurance policy coverage, including the scope of cover available and issues such as notification, aggregation and fraud.I also provide advice and defence in connection with D&O insurance, defending claims against directors and company officers arising from alleged breaches of duty and advising insurers on policy cover.

Listed skills include Professional Negligence, Legal Advice, Dispute Resolution, Insurance, and 9 others.
