Solicitor negligence happens when a solicitor or barrister fails to meet the professional standards expected of them, leading to financial loss or other harm for their client. Like all professionals, legal advisers have a duty of care. They must act reasonably, competently, and in your best interests.
Examples of solicitor negligence include missing important deadlines, giving incorrect legal advice, failing to warn about legal costs, or mishandling settlements. If this has happened to you, we can help you take action.
At CEL Solicitors, we specialise in helping people who’ve been let down by legal professionals. Our experienced team will listen to your concerns, review your situation, and advise on the best way forward. Whether your solicitor missed a time limit, gave poor advice, or failed in their duty of care, we’ll aim to resolve your claim quickly and clearly.
We offer:
We work under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), meaning you won’t have to pay anything upfront.
Our solicitors will assess your case in detail and explain your options clearly.
We act swiftly to minimise stress and get things moving in the right direction.
From your first enquiry to final resolution, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
In most cases, you have six years from the date of the negligence to bring a claim. But don’t wait, as acting early helps protect your legal position.
Solicitor negligence can arise in many areas of law. If your legal representative didn’t meet professional standards and you suffered loss as a result, we may be able to help.
Mistakes during property transactions - like missing deadlines, failing to carry out proper searches, or mishandling contracts - can lead to disputes and financial harm.
When a solicitor mishandles a personal injury claim by missing deadlines or failing to collect vital evidence, it can reduce your compensation or even cause your case to fail.
Business disputes rely on sharp legal guidance. Poor advice or document errors can lead to serious financial losses and missed opportunities.
Mistakes during divorce, child arrangements or financial settlements can have lasting consequences. If your solicitor gave incorrect advice or missed key steps, we’re here to help.
Errors in drafting a will or managing an estate can lead to delays or incorrect distribution of assets. These issues often give rise to valid claims for negligence.
Failing to handle workplace disputes properly, including dismissals, tribunals, or contract advice, can leave you exposed to financial and legal risk.
Negligence within a medical negligence claim can be devastating, especially if your solicitor undervalued your case or failed to gather the right evidence, reducing your compensation.
Inadequate legal defence can lead to unfair outcomes, such as wrongful convictions or excessive sentencing. We can help if your solicitor’s errors affected the result of your case.
Errors in immigration cases, like submitting the wrong documents or missing deadlines, can lead to visa refusals or delays in securing legal status.

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.
Yes. If you’re unhappy with the service you received from another solicitor and believe it fell below professional standards, you may still be able to bring a claim. We regularly help clients who are switching firms due to dissatisfaction with their former legal representative.
Key documents like contracts, letters, emails, or expert reports can all support your case. We’ll help you gather everything needed to build a strong claim.
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.
