Professional Negligence Claim Solicitors

Inevitably, at some point in our lives, such as when buying or building a home, investing our hard earned savings or making critical business decisions, we’ll need professional help.

Being given erroneous advice or receiving substandard service from a professional that you’ve entrusted to help you with an important matter can be extremely distressing. Often, any mistakes or omissions made by a professional can also have serious consequences for you or your business, both financially and otherwise. In these instances, where the service you were given fell below the standard reasonably expected, and you’ve suffered a quantifiable loss, you may have the basis of a viable claim for professional negligence.

Equally, as a professional advisor, you may find yourself facing allegations of negligent conduct. For you professionally, even if such allegations are misconceived or without merit, unless successfully disputed, these could have a devastating impact on your reputation and career, as well as potentially significant costs consequences. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for allegations of professional negligence to be made, even where you’ve performed a service to the best of your abilities, either in response to any attempts on your part to recover outstanding fees or circumstances that are entirely beyond your control.

What we do for our clients

At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in both bringing and defending professional negligence claims. This includes claims against accountants, financial advisors, insurance brokers, architects, engineers, surveyors, valuers, technology or management consultants, and even barristers, solicitors and other legal professionals. Professional negligence claims can arise against any profession for a variety of different reasons.

We work together with our clients to ensure that we fully understand the basis upon which advice or assistance was sought or given from the professional in question, and the context in which that service was provided. Our specialist solicitors are able to risk assess the merits of a claim or defence, exploring all available options, including any scope for settlement.

In many cases, these types of claims can be resolved without recourse to litigation. However, where necessary, our team of highly experienced lawyers will robustly pursue or defend a claim on a client’s behalf, providing strategic and tactical advice every step of the way.

How we can help you

Whether you’re an aggrieved individual who has suffered financial loss or physical damage, or a professional accused of breaching your duty to act with reasonable care, we can advise and assist on all aspects of your case. At Farnworth Rose, no matter the nature of the conduct complained of, or the consequences allegedly arising from a grievance, we can help to resolve any type of professional negligence claim on the best possible terms.

We can guide you through the process of litigating a professional negligence claim or, where both parties are open to exploring a basis for settlement, look to alternative forms of dispute resolution, at all times tailoring our own professional service to meet the needs of your case.
