Making a claim against a professional adviser can be awkward. Clients feel let down when the advice they received falls short of acceptable standards. Our experience in advising on professional negligence claims is extensive which means that we can quickly grasp the crux of the matter and advise on appropriate routes to resolve the dispute. Areas covered include claims against accountants, architects, engineers, insurance brokers, lawyers, surveyors and veterinary surgeons.
We have consistently been recognised for our ability to advise clients effectively on professional negligence matters having been named in the prestigious legal directory, “The Legal 500”.
Both Richard Lane and Sarah Perry who work within the Professional Negligence team are also recognised as 'leaders in their field' by the Legal 500 for their expertise in professional negligence matters.
Richard and Sarah each have over 15 years experience in dealing with professional negligence claims and have handled several hundred cases for two major lending institutions involved in professional negligence matters including Bradford and Bingley Building Society -v- Hayes and Dumphys. Sarah has also acted in one of the leading cases on breach of fiduciary duties (Swindle -v- Harrison). They are supported by a team of solicitors, including two solicitor-advocates (all Higher Courts), all of whom have considerable experience in handling professional negligence claims.
The value of professional negligence claims on which we have advised, range from £5,000 to several £million.
Due to our wealth of experience, from an early stage we will be able to confirm whether we can act on your behalf on a conditional fee basis, more commonly known as “a no win no fee agreement”. Such an agreement simply means that if we do not succeed with your claim you will not have to pay for our services. However, if we are successful, you will be responsible for our legal costs in accordance with the conditional fee agreement. However, your reasonable legal costs are often recovered from the opposing party if you are successful.
Examples of cases in which we are able to advise include claims against:
Wright Hassall LLP is "superb"
"I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah Perry"
"Richard Lane has done an excellent job on this case"
"Excellent service and advice as usual"
