Comprehensive Solicitors' Negligence Services

From pre-action protocols to High Court trials, we provide strategic counsel across all legal malpractice claims.

Conveyancing Negligence

Failed property searches, unidentified defects, title defects, restrictive covenant breaches, planning failures, and negligent purchase advice causing financial loss.

Litigation Mishandling

Negligent conduct of litigation, failure to obtain evidence, inadequate witness preparation, settlement undervaluation, and procedural failures causing case loss.

Limitation Period Failures

Missed limitation periods destroying valid claims, failure to issue proceedings in time, incorrect limitation advice, and claims becoming statute-barred.

Breach of Retainer

Failure to follow instructions, exceeding authority, undertaking work outside expertise, and failing to advise on risks within the retainer scope.

Conflict of Interest

Acting for multiple parties with conflicting interests, failing to identify conflicts, inadequate conflict disclosure, and breach of fiduciary duties.

Negligent Advice

Incorrect legal advice on merits, negligent tax advice, corporate transaction advice failures, and failure to advise on material legal risks.

Our Approach

Professional negligence expertise combined with understanding of solicitors' duties and strategic case building.

1

Technical Negligence Analysis

Solicitors' negligence requires proving duty, breach, causation, and loss. We conduct rigorous analysis of the retainer, solicitors' conduct, and applicable professional standards—building compelling cases supported by expert evidence from leading solicitors.

2

Case Within a Case

Many negligence claims require proving the underlying case would have succeeded. We reconstruct the original matter, gather evidence on likely outcomes, and build compelling 'case within a case' arguments demonstrating losses caused by solicitors' negligence.

3

Insurance Navigation

Solicitors' negligence claims are covered by professional indemnity insurance. We understand SRA minimum terms, policy coverage issues, and insurer handling—maximising recovery prospects while managing coverage strategically.

4

Cost-Effective Resolution

Professional negligence litigation is expensive. We pursue proportionate strategies including early settlement negotiation, Part 36 offers, and mediation where appropriate—achieving cost-effective outcomes while maintaining litigation readiness.
