Retainers

When acting as an independent expert valuer for family law matters, it is vital that Members utilise strong risk management practices to ensure that they are adequately guarded against any potential claims.

This is important as family law matters can sometimes be acrimonious, resulting in valuers being subjected to unmeritorious claims. We have observed such claims that were accordingly withdrawn/dismissed, but still leaving legal defence costs to be covered by the valuers’ insurers.
