Claims Against Solicitors
Negligence claims against solicitors can arise from a variety of legal transactions including missed deadlines, defective property titles, insufficient or incorrect legal advice, negligently drafted wills, misconduct and dishonesty. A claim cannot be brought for poor performance or complaints regarding service or costs. In order to pursue a successful claim, we must prove that the solicitor owed a duty of care to you which was breached, and that breach has caused a loss to you.
If you believe you have a potential claim against a solicitor, our team of professional negligence lawyers will initially assess whether the claim is valid. If it is, we will write a letter of claim, which is the first step required in any proceedings against professionals for negligence. Most claims of this nature settle without resorting to litigation, but if a settlement cannot be achieved in the short term, our team of expert lawyers can guide you through the conduct of court proceedings. Our specialist lawyers provide clear and practical advice through each stage of the legal process to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
