Barrister negligence occurs when a barrister does not meet the professional standards expected, resulting in harm or financial loss for their client. Barristers owe a duty of care to their clients and must provide clear, reliable legal advice while handling cases properly. Negligence can involve giving poor advice, failing to represent a client effectively in court, missing important deadlines, mishandling crucial documents, or not cross-examining key witnesses as required.

Our experienced team will listen to your concerns, assess your case, and guide you through the next steps with compassion and clarity.

We work under a conditional fee agreement, so you don’t need to worry about upfront costs.

n most cases, you have six years from the date of negligence to claim. But there can be exceptions, so it’s important to act promptly.
Barrister negligence can arise in many legal areas. Common examples include:
If a barrister provides poor representation, fails to challenge evidence, or overlooks key aspects of your defence, it could lead to wrongful convictions or harsher penalties. If their actions have affected the outcome of your case, you may be entitled to compensation.
Mistakes in divorce or child custody cases - such as missing deadlines or failing to secure a fair settlement - can have long-lasting financial and emotional effects. We can help if you’ve experienced negligent advice in a family law matter.
If your barrister missed key deadlines or failed to present vital evidence, you might not have received the compensation you were entitled to. This can be grounds for a negligence claim.
Poor legal advice or representation in business disputes can have serious financial consequences. If a barrister’s negligence harmed your business interests, you may be able to make a claim.
Negligence in wills and probate - such as incorrect advice or mishandling court procedures - can result in financial loss or unnecessary delays. Legal advice is essential if you’ve been affected.
Speak to our friendly team today. You are not alone, and you may have a case.
Yes. Barristers, like all legal professionals, must uphold a duty of care. If they’ve failed in that duty and you’ve suffered financially as a result, you may be entitled to claim compensation. You’re not alone — we’re here to support you through the process.
To bring a successful claim, you’ll need to show that your barrister breached their duty of care and that this directly caused you harm or financial loss. Our expert team will assess your case and help gather the necessary evidence to build a strong claim.
Not always. Many claims are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If your case does go to court, we’ll support and guide you throughout the entire process.
The time limit is usually six years from the date of the negligence, or three years from when you first became aware of the issue. Don’t wait—get in touch as soon as possible to protect your right to claim.
Yes, you can still pursue a negligence claim even if your original case was funded through legal aid. The source of funding does not prevent you from holding a barrister accountable for poor service.
