Questions
What constitutes professional negligence in legal claims?
Professional negligence occurs when qualified advisors breach their duty of care through incorrect advice, missed deadlines, or failure to identify critical issues, resulting in financial loss.
How are professional negligence cases funded?
We offer no-win-no-fee arrangements, deferred fees, and conventional payment options. Funding suitability depends on case merits and client circumstances.
What is the claims process timeline?
Most claims resolve in 2-3 years, though simpler cases settle faster. The process includes investigation, formal notification, negotiation, and potential court proceedings.
Can I claim against my solicitor for conveyancing errors?
Yes. Common claims involve property valuation errors, missed defects, or failure to advise on investment risks during property transactions.
How do you handle multi-claimant group actions?
We coordinate group claims while maintaining individual client communication. Recent successes include recovering millions for property investment scheme victims.
