What is professional negligence?
Put simply, professional negligence is where a professional person (whether a solicitor, financial adviser, barrister, surveyor, doctor, accountant or other) fails to perform to the standard expected of them, causing you to suffer loss. Professionals have an obligation (known as a duty of care) to their clients to perform their jobs to a reasonable standard and with reasonable care.
Where a professional has been negligent, a professional negligence claim may be made to compensate you for your loss. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the damages you are entitled to.

Commercial Property Solicitors
Our client (a property development company), instructed solicitors to draw up a sub-lease with the tenant company’s directors as sureties to the lease.

Our clients instructed solicitors to deal with a neighbour dispute. The solicitors incorrectly advised our clients they had no claim. We settled a claim against the solicitors and recovered £77,500 for our clients.
Solicitors
- Our client sought advice from solicitors on selling company shares. The solicitors’ advice didn’t protect our client’s interests. We were instructed in a claim against the solicitors and settled the claim at mediation. Our client accepted an excellent settlement of £86,500.
- Our client’s former solicitors mishandled court proceedings, leading to the client being prevented from making further arguments in the case. We intervened and stopped enforcement action being taken against the client, successfully getting the client’s case back on track. We obtained an immediate apology from the previous solicitors, plus payment of damages and costs for our client.
- Our clients instructed solicitors in the purchase of their home. The solicitors failed to check that the loft conversion had the relevant building regulations approval or advise our clients on this. This left our clients unable to sell their home some years later. We achieved a settlement of £25,000 for our clients.
