What Is Solicitor Negligence?

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.

Types of Solicitor Negligence

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.

Conveyancing Negligence

Mistakes during property transactions - like missing deadlines, failing to carry out proper searches, or mishandling contracts - can lead to disputes and financial harm.

Personal Injury Solicitor Negligence

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.

Commercial Dispute Solicitor Negligence

Business disputes rely on sharp legal guidance. Poor advice or document errors can lead to serious financial losses and missed opportunities.

Family Law Solicitor Negligence

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.

Wills and Probate Solicitor Negligence

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.

Employment Law Solicitor Negligence

Failing to handle workplace disputes properly, including dismissals, tribunals, or contract advice, can leave you exposed to financial and legal risk.

Medical Negligence Solicitor Negligence

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.

Criminal Defence Solicitor Negligence

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.
