When you instruct a professional, you are entitled to expect them to provide their services with reasonable care and skill. If mistakes are made and you suffer financial loss as a result, you may be able to bring a professional negligence claim.
At Gepp Solicitors, our Dispute Resolution team advises individuals and businesses on professional negligence claims. We can assess what has happened, explain whether you may have grounds for a claim and help you decide on the most appropriate way forward.
Professional negligence can arise when a professional fails to meet the standard reasonably expected of someone providing their particular service and their failure causes you financial loss.

If you believe you have received negligent professional advice or services, seeking legal advice at an early stage can help you understand your position and protect your options.

Our approach is focused on achieving a practical and proportionate resolution, taking into account the value of the claim, the likely costs and your wider objectives.
Our Dispute Resolution team has experience dealing with professional negligence claims across a range of circumstances.
In one matter, our clients believed that solicitors acting for them on a property purchase had failed to advise them about important issues before they completed the transaction.
We reviewed the previous solicitors’ file and identified specific areas where the advice provided had fallen below the required standard. We then pursued the claim on our clients’ behalf and, through negotiation, secured a settlement that compensated our clients for the losses they had incurred.
Every professional negligence claim is different, and we will take the time to understand both what went wrong and the impact it has had on you.
If you are concerned that the advice or services you received from a professional have caused you financial loss, speak to our Dispute Resolution team.
We can review the circumstances, explain your options clearly and advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
