We understand that anyone who has already been let down by a professional will be reluctant to place their trust in another. We therefore aim to rebuild your confidence in professionals and to earn that trust by providing a first class service when dealing with your professional negligence compensation claim.
What we can do for you
If you are let down by a professional person such as a lawyer, an accountant, a surveyor or an architect, and you suffer substantial financial loss as a result, our professional negligence solicitors can assist you in pursuing a legal claim to recover compensation.
What it will cost
If your claim is worth more than the Small Claims Court limit (currently £10,000) we will be happy to consider funding your case on a No Win, No Fee basis. We also deal with cases on a privately paying basis and under Legal Expenses Insurance.
Why choose Slee Blackwell?
Our professional negligence solicitors specialise in this complex, niche area of law. We have many years experience of dealing with complicated, high value professional negligence claims. And we are proud of our track record which earned us a place in the 2018 edition of the prestigious legal directory, The Legal 500, for professional negligence law.
Free Initial Case Assessment
If you think you have a valid professional negligence claim that’s worth more than £10,000, then ask our professional negligence solicitors for a free case assessment. If it is a case that is suitable for ‘No Win, No Fee’ funding we will let you know.
If the merits of the claim are unclear and further investigation is required (such as a thorough review of a professional’s files) then we shall be happy to discuss funding for this work, perhaps on a fixed fee basis.
The claims we handle
Unlike some lawyers, we are not afraid to bring claims against solicitors and barristers – in fact suing lawyers is the core activity of our professional negligence team. So if your lawyer has made a conveyancing mistake or missed an important time limit then call our free legal helpline.
