Lamb Brooks Solicitors work with clients 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.

From time to time we will all rely on the guidance or expertise of a professional advisor to assist us with personal matters. This is often at a point of life where we are already dealing with a very stressful or challenging situation, and so we place great reliance on whomever that professional might be: a Solicitor, an Accountant, Surveyor or Architect, for example. We trust that these individuals have been through lengthy training and abide to the stringent regulations and rules that are strictly imposed on their industry. Professional advisors often come with expensive fees due to the nature of their training and expertise, so understandably we rely on their advice being sound.

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 suffering damage or financial loss.

Examples of professional negligence claims for individuals could include:

• A Surveyor failing to correctly value a property causing a financial loss
• Conveyancing errors or insufficient advice when selling or purchasing property
• Poor legal representation resulting in a lost court case
• Poor advice during matrimonial proceedings resulting in an unfavourable settlement
• Negligent planning by an architect resulting in defective construction works and damages
