When a professional provides you with legal, financial or technical advice, you rely on that advice being correct and accurate.  Professionals owe a duty of care to you to perform their job to a reasonable standard and with reasonable care.

Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Where a professional fails to perform their duties to the reasonable standard expected of them and causes you to suffer loss and/or damage, you are entitled to claim compensation from them for the losses or damage you suffer.

Here are just some of the problems that our clients face when professionals fail in their duty:

Solicitors/Legal Advisors

• Drafting documents incorrectly
• Missing vital deadlines
• Misadvising their clients particularly in areas beyond their expertise
• Providing poor or incorrect legal advice
• Failing to advise on settlement terms

Accountants

• Failure to detect fraud
• Failure to file tax returns on time
• Providing poor or incorrect tax advice

Financial advisors

• Mis-selling a financial product
• Failing to recommend the correct financial/investment product

Engineers / Architects

• Providing flawed designs or failing to spot a design flaw

Surveyors

• Failing to notice a defect in a property
