Book publication: ‘Risk and Negligence in Property Transactions’, edited by John de Waal QC

Hardwicke is delighted to announce that John de Waal QC’s new textbook, Risk & Negligence in Property Transactions, has just been published by The Law Society. The book is available for purchase here.

Fresh off the press, the book takes an in-depth look at the various stages that take place, and specific issues that may arise, on the acquisition of land. It identifies the risks faced by solicitors acting for the buyer, seller and lender that may give rise to liability in negligence.

It is essential reading for solicitors who are instructed in relation to transactions concerning commercial and residential property, as well as litigation solicitors and barristers.
