Professional negligence claims against solicitors

If you have been the victim of poor or negligent advice received from your solicitor, you may be able to either make a complaint or take legal action against the individual or firm concerned.

We are a firm of compensation lawyers who specialise in claims against professionals who wrongly advise their clients. If you have suffered loss or damage as a result of the negligent advice provided by a solicitor - please make an enquiry with us today.

Because of the nature of these cases and the complexities involved, we do not deal with enquiries via our usual helpline. Please submit your case to us in writing providing as much detail as you deem necessary. We will then contact you to discuss the case further. This ensures that you receive the best advice possible and do not waste time by repeating key issues.

The legal profession in England & Wales of which we are very proud to be a part, is well regulated and generally attracts some of the cleverest and most able people in the country.  Despite the excellent standards set by most legal advisers, inevitably some professionals do make mistakes and when this happens - the client can suffer.

The Law Society of England & Wales does have a very well structured and "user friendly" complaints procedure. They allow for compensation to be paid in certain circumstances (although usually only for advice received after 1991). However, complaining rarely results in adequate damages or compensation being paid for the loss that may have been suffered.  

This is where our specialised NO WIN NO FEE service can help.   We have a team of dedicated professional negligence solicitors who can advise you on your prospects of taking legal action against the party or parties who provided the poor advice.  

We can deal with cases involving:  

Failed litigation

Bad advice in a personal injury claim

Advice relating to a commercial matter

Conveyancing

Contractual issues and many other issues

* PLEASE NOTE * We cannot help with general complaints about poor service OR poor professional attitudes or procedures. We deal with financial loss claims and in order to pursue such a claim you must be able to demonstrate an actual loss has been or is likely to be sustained. The Legal complaints service will help you with any general issues about service or attitude.

Clinical errors, bad advice or mishaps leading to medical negligence compensation

We have a team of dedicated professional negligence lawyers who can advise you on your prospects of taking legal action against the party or parties who provided the bad advice.  

We can deal with cases involving:  

Property transaction issues and Conveyancer negligence  

Complaints against misselling of financial products such as endowments, bonds, pensions etc.  

Claims and complaints against architects often jointly with building contractors.
