Based on our experience, common claims made against small to medium-sized firms of management consultants include those relating to:
- Failure to advise a client of commercial risks associated with a course of action.
- Failure to understand the client's organisation or procedures and recommending unsuitable measures.
- Claims from individuals, typically directors or shareholders, who allege that they also relied on the advice of the management consultant to a client company.
- Giving advice to a client company too late to avoid liquidation or administration or giving advice which is said to lead to insolvency.
