Sophie Hannaway

Senior Associate

Sophie specialises in insurance litigation and defends professional negligence claims against law firms and barristers. She also works on disciplinary and regulatory matters involving legal professionals. Sophie has a particular interest in claims against barristers, cases involving allegations of fraud or where the subject of the claim involves corporate transactions or litigation that may have gone wrong.

“I have a modern approach to litigation. Clear, concise advice is at the centre of the way that I work with clients. I avoid using a hundred words when ten would do". 

“I work on matters in which legal professionals have allegedly done something wrong. The claims that I act on can, therefore, be extremely personal and stressful for the law firm or barrister behind the allegations. My role is to support clients whilst resolving their matters commercially and efficiently. 

I have a modern approach to litigation. Clear, concise advice is at the centre of the way that I work with clients. I avoid using a hundred words when ten would do.

I work to get to know each client - and their business - individually so that I tailor the way that I work with a client in a way that best suits them. It has been great to receive feedback from clients that they appreciate my willingness and availability to talk difficult issues through on the phone.”
