Experienced specialists in solicitor & professional negligence claims
We all put our trust in a solicitor at some point in our lives. Yet if they fail to meet the expected standards, the consequences can be severe — financially, reputationally and personally.
If you’ve suffered loss due to poor legal advice, it’s important to fully understand your rights and where you stand before making a claim. After all, you’ll be taking on someone who’s ‘in the know’.
That’s why we created Solicitors Negligence — a website maintained by experienced specialists in the field that’s designed to empower you to seek justice, answers and the compensation that you deserve.
We’re committed to fairness and achieving the right resolution in every case. Plus — since we also represent professionals who face allegations of negligence — we understand these cases from both sides of the coin and know exactly how the legal process plays out.
We offer initial, free, no-obligation consultations to understand and assess the strength of your claim.
We can also help in relation to claims against other professionals.

What is professional negligence?
Professional negligence occurs when a solicitor or professional breaches their duty of care, resulting in harm or loss.
This might involve missing deadlines, providing incorrect legal advice, failing to follow instructions or inadequately representing you in court.
While the law does provide for remedies, navigating them effectively requires specialist experience and insight.

We deal with a vast number and range of claims — from straightforward errors all the way through to complex, high-value disputes.
Talk to us today to get:
1. Clarity on your legal position
We’ll assess whether a solicitor owed you a duty of care, whether that duty was breached and whether you’ve suffered loss as a result.
2. Tailored advice & strategy
Every case is different. We take the time to understand your goals and develop a plan that reflects your priorities — whether that’s compensation, resolution or accountability.
3. Dispute resolution expertise
We’re experienced in resolving claims through negotiation, mediation and litigation to help you achieve the best possible outcome in the most efficient way.
Have you been let down by a non-legal professional?
Professional negligence can happen in many sectors — not just legal.
If you’ve been let down by a non-solicitor or any other professional, you may have grounds to make a claim.
We can help you to understand whether the professional owed you a duty of care, how that duty may have been breached and what evidence is needed to support your case.
Our team will guide you through the process — helping you to move forward with confidence and purpose.
