About

Provided by Shakespeare Martineau

Our professional negligence lawyers work to help individuals, partnerships, companies and trustees to claim compensation in instances where they have been let down by a professional. We have helped clients who have been the victim of professional negligence against a wide range of professionals, offering advice where there has been a:


  • breach of professional duty of care,
  • breach of contract, or
  • fraud by a professional.


Our professional negligence solicitors will guide you through the whole process of bringing a professional negligence claim. This can include corresponding with the professional against whom you are bringing the claim, to give you an opportunity to resolve matters outside of court if that is your preferred outcome.


We have extensive experience in facilitating early compensation and working through dispute resolution procedures and mediation with our clients. Mediation, if appropriate, can provide the opportunity for a quick and cost-effective resolution, although this is not the right solution for everybody.
