Recent cases have covered issues such as negligence when providing advice on planning consents and licences as well several claims against negligent solicitors. The firm also advised the world's oldest mutual insurer Equitable Life, which closed its doors to new business in 2000 after hitting problems over Guaranteed Annuity Rate policies.
