PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE

In recent times, claims against legal and other professionals such as accountants, surveyors and expert witnesses have increased because of the stricter control and enforcement by their regulators and greater awareness of their clients with growing appetite to seek redress and damages. Most professionals are highly trained, rigorously regulated, and by the very nature of their work, a high degree of trust is placed upon them by their clients.  However, when things go wrong, you may need help with establishing a breach of duty and assessment of damages. Professional negligence claims may be vigorously defended so you may need help from those with similar qualifications and experience to argue your case.

There is no exhaustive list of errors but the most common are missed limitation dates, failure to comply with court orders and deadlines, poor or misleading expert or legal advice, failure to present  important evidence or engage with the government bodies resulting in a loss of chance, excessive payments of tax and other liabilities,  etc.

So if you think you have received professional service that fell below the expected standard resulting in a quantifiable loss, you may wish to speak to our specialist lawyers who will assess your claim, advise you on the prospect of success and help you achieve the best possible result.
