Professional Negligence
It is a fact of life that mistakes happen and sometimes professionals can get it wrong. We understand that suing a professional advisor can be a daunting prospect. Our Team of Professional Negligence Specialists are members of the Professional Negligence Lawyer’s Association and can assist in resolving disputes with professionals.
We understand that there is often a long standing relationship with the professional which you may wish to preserve. Professionals are required to have Professional Indemnity Insurance in place, which shall respond to a claim for negligence. Even if the professional is no longer in business, it may still be possible to bring a claim.

Legal costs
We understand that one of the biggest concerns clients have when considering whether to pursue claims through solicitors are the legal costs involved.
We will take details from you and then advise you on your options including the related costs involved (a cost estimate) so you know from the outset what the potential costs are.
It is of course very difficult for us to give an exact figure as it will mostly depend on how the matter unfolds and in turn what work is required to be done but we do keep the cost estimate under constant review and provide cost updates every 6 months and will notify you if anything changes with the original cost estimate and why. Our aim is to have full transparency with our clients in relation to costs.
Charges are on an hourly rate basis, and those hourly rates will be discussed with you at the initial enquiry.
Usually, we can agree to take details and provide advice for 1 hourly rate.
