Professional Negligence

You trusted a professional to get it right and they let you down. 

Whether it’s cost you money, time, or peace of mind, we’ll help you work out if you’ve got a claim, what it’s worth, and whether it’s worth the fight.

We act for people and businesses who’ve been let down by professionals - lawyers, accountants, surveyors, architects, financial advisers and more.

You’ll deal directly with a senior lawyer who knows how to prove where things went wrong, build a strong case and fight to put it right.

We’ll talk you through the legal tests, the practical realities, and what a claim might look like in real life.

And if a claim’s not the right route? We’ll tell you that too, and help you find a better one.

How We Work:

These cases aren’t easy, and we won’t pretend they are. But we know the ground well.

  • We’ll start with a proper review of what happened. If we think there’s a case, we’ll explain the legal basis clearly, flag the risks, and talk through the potential value.
  • If you’re ready to proceed, we’ll get stuck in. If not, no pressure.
  • We work flexibly on fees, and we’ll keep you updated, involved, and informed all the way through.

Areas we cover:

What do we cost?

We take a flexible approach to our costs; and the fee structure of each instruction is case-specific.
