Derby has a substantial professional services sector serving the city's diverse economy. The city's large property market, aerospace and automotive sector, and the University of Derby generate regular conveyancing, surveying, and professional advice negligence claims.
Derby's property market — spanning Victorian terraces, 1930s suburbs, and new city centre developments — creates a steady volume of surveyor and conveyancer negligence claims. The city's aerospace and automotive sector generates accountancy and business advice claims.
A surveyor undertaking a HomeBuyer Report on a Derby riverside property failed to adequately advise on the flood risk from the Derwent. The buyer subsequently suffered flood damage.

Derby's key industries include aerospace (Rolls-Royce), automotive (Toyota), manufacturing, property and construction, and education (the University of Derby).
