Claims Against Trade Unions, Advice Centres and other Legal AdvisersIf you have suffered a significant loss as a result of the negligence of an adviser or lawyer working either for themselves or for a private advice firm, Claims Company or Advice Centre you will not only have suffered a loss but will rightly feel badly let down. It may seem a daunting prospect to seek any redress or compensation as claims against Advisers and Lawyers are known to be complex and difficult and the adviser or lawyer, Advice firm, Claims Company or Advice Centre may well have Insurers and an experienced legal team ready to fight the case.

However if the Adviser or Lawyer or the Advice Firm , Claims Company, Advice Centre has been negligent and caused you a significant loss you should be able to recover the compensation you deserve, through a professional negligence claim against the adviser or organisation concerned.

Our experience in professional negligence claims against advice centres or other legal advisers.

We have a substantial amount of experience in assessing cases involving Lawyers and Advisers giving legal advice or quasi legal advice involving negligence and have successfully pursued many cases involving Lawyers and Advisers’ negligence.

The nature of a professional negligence case against a Solicitor or Barrister is very similar to a case against another lawyer or quasi legal professional because the standard of care expected of the professional is that of a similar reasonably competent legal practitioner. Our expertise and experience enables us to assess and pursue such cases in the same way. This also applies with some adjustment for the expected standard of care to other people or organisations providing legal advice including Claims Companies, Advice Centres and unqualified employment advisors or advocates.

More than capable, thorough and well researched, dedicated towards achieving the desired result – from start to finish. A light of hope in a dire situation.”

Mr K, Sheffield
