Lamb Brooks Solicitors work with sole traders, SMEs and larger corporate businesses who have suffered as a result of professional negligence. Our experts help clients achieve financial compensation and justice when they have been let down by a professional expert or advisor.

Most businesses will rely heavily on the guidance and expertise of a professional person or firm to assist them throughout the life of their business. Whether it is services from an accountant, a solicitor or any other professional advisor – business owners appoint these individuals in good faith and understandably expect that their company is in safe hands.

People trust that the individuals they appoint to look after their businesses have the knowledge, experience and training to give them sound advice and guidance. Furthermore, with such advisors usually being from heavily regulated industries a company should rightly assume that it will be afforded with every necessary protection along the way.

Negligence occurs when the practitioner has failed to provide the reasonable level of skill, care or service required of them, which results in the client or business suffering damage or financial losses.

Examples of professional negligence claims for businesses can include:

• Failure to file accounts or paperwork by deadlines resulting in fines and / or penalties
• Inaccurate valuation of the business or its assets
• Poor legal advice or representation that causes the business to lose a case in court
• Poor advice from an actuary as to the viability of a pension scheme
• An auditor failing to identify errors resulting in financial problems thereafter
• Giving poor or inadequate advice that causes the business a financial loss
