What this usually involves

Professional negligence claims turn on the scope of the retainer and what a reasonably competent adviser would have done. Evidence of the instructions given is central.

  • Establishing duty, breach and loss
  • Following the Professional Negligence Pre-Action Protocol
  • Dealing with professional indemnity insurers

Common questions

What is the deadline for these claims?
Six years from the negligent act, with a possible three-year extension from the date of knowledge.
Do I have to complain first?
Regulatory complaints and ombudsman schemes can run alongside, but they are not the same as a damages claim.
