Righting the wrongs
Enlisting the help of a professional in any area of your life involves a lot of trust and confidence. The required services are often costly and time sensitive, and because it involves dealing with a professional, we rarely consider what may happen if things don’t go to plan.
If a professional has not acted in your best interests which, as a result, has caused you harm, suffering or loss, you may be entitled to make a claim against them. Contact our dedicated team of professional negligence solicitors today.
We need professional assistance across many different areas of our lives and any of these run the risk of going wrong. Whether it be a mistake, wrong professional advice, an administrative error or straightforward unprofessionalism, we can help you make a claim against any of the following:
- Financial professionals, including accountants, financial advisors, insurance brokers and mortgage advisors
- Property professionals, including architects, builders, engineers, valuers and surveyors
- Legal professionals, including barristers, solicitors and conveyancers
- Trade unions or associations
From poor legal advice to mis-sold or inadequately explained financial advice, we can help you to rectify situations where you have been left to pick up the pieces after receiving professional care which is deemed to be lacking.
We have a specialist team of professional negligence solicitors who help clients pursue claims every day. To find out more, visit our dedicated professional negligence website.

The success of our professional negligence team is backed by The Legal 500 recognition, which is an independent guide to law firms in the UK. It notes that we have handled a broad spectrum of professional negligence claims, adding:
Chief among which [are] claims against architects, surveyors and builders, lawyers, financial service professionals and trade unions. ‘Highly experienced and competent’ practice head and mediator Alison Neate is praised for ‘her mastery of detail’; she recently led for the claimants in a group action against a firm of financial advisers regarding the investment of pension monies and other personal savings into a scam company.
