Professional Liability & Negligence Claims

Our professional negligence solicitors can help you recover losses caused by a negligent financial advisor, accountant, lawyer or architect.

If you trusted an expert to give you sound advice but what you received fell short of expectations, then you may be feeling let down, vulnerable and wondering if there’s anything you can do to get your money back and recoup any loss.

The good news is that you can take back control of the situation and hold your advisor accountable. We have a strong track record helping clients recover from the financial losses they’ve suffered due to the negligence of professionals such as financial advisors, accountants, insurance brokers, solicitors, and architects.

To be successful with your claim, you will need to be able to show that the professional’s advice was below standard and that it resulted in a financial loss. This can be a complex process, but we’re here to help.

How we will help you with your professional negligence claim

Our experienced professional negligence solicitors will guide you through the entire process. We will begin by carefully reviewing your case and explaining the evidence you need to support your claim (which may need input from an expert in the same field as the advisor). If you have a strong case, we can either try to negotiate a fair settlement with the other side or take them to court to fix the harm caused by the bad advice.

Throughout the process our solicitors will be transparent on the likelihood of success and the expected costs for the different stages of your claim. We will take into consideration your financial situation and your personal circumstances before we advise you on the best way to progress your claim. For those looking to resolve their dispute quickly with minimum fuss, mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution may be suitable options, while those willing to accept risk can use litigation to potentially recover a larger amount in damages.

How we do things differently

Unlike traditional law firms, our solicitors are freed from administrative, marketing, and sales duties. This means that our solicitors’ objectives and priorities are aligned to yours. Our way of doing things gives the solicitors the opportunity to dedicate all of their time to supporting clients.

Our price plans represent a fraction of the cost of most traditional law firms, and include a single rate for all solicitors (partner and non-partner levels) and this coupled with their high seniority means that our team can complete the work faster, more cost effectively and with greater commercial and strategic direction than many of our competitors.

Our remote operating model not only enhances our lawyers’ work-life balance but also broadens our talent pool, allowing us to recruit and retain seasoned professional negligence solicitors from across the UK.
