Professional negligence
Professional Negligence claims against solicitors and other professionals should be easier because of conditional fee agreements 'no win no fee'.
Advice on professional negligence
'No win no fee' arrangements are usually entered into after one of our solicitors has provided essential experienced guidance on:
- the existence of a duty of care
- the scope of that duty
- the quality of the advice that is given by the solicitor (other professional)
- the issue of causation
- the duty to mitigate
- the measure of compensation
A professional negligence claim (whether the claim is against a solicitor, an accountant or a construction professional) will generally be contested by an experienced insurer or panel solicitor. It is not advisable to engage a high street solicitor to prosecute a claim. Our Bristol based solicitors provide essential high quality and effective representation in professional negligence claims.
