What is professional negligence?

There’s often time in your life where you need to take professional advice on matters. Professional negligence means bringing a claim against, or suing, professionals such as:

Unfortunately, poor or incorrect advice can result in serious consequences for you. All professionals are required by law to act with reasonable care and skill.

Negligence is an area of law (known in the jargon as one of the Law of Torts, or Tort Law). To succeed in a claim for negligence you need to show:

  1. The professional owed you a duty of care;
  2. There was a breach of that duty
  3. That breach caused you loss
  4. The loss is not too remote

This is the so-called legal test for negligence in the UK.

To put this in context with professionals, it is not just about advice you don’t like, or investments which lost money, or a valuation being 1% lower. It’s about seriously bad advice that no other professional in the field would give or where the professional didn’t follow their own professional code of conduct or standards of practice.

Why use me as a Professional Negligence Lawyer?

Steven Mather is a very experienced professional negligence litigator. I have dealt with hundreds of disputes, from a few thousand pounds up to multi-million pound disputes.

Not many firms specialise in professional negligence claims. It requires both the guts to take on professionals and the knowledge and skill to fight the claim. Professionals will be insured, and their insurance company will have more money than you to fight a disputed claim all the way, and they will employ a Top 20 Law Firm to defend the Claim. And so you need someone on your side who is experienced in dealing with big claims, has the determination and clout to fight your corner, and the specialism to know what they are doing.

I can help you from start to finish. General steps in a negligence claim against a professional might include:

* In the interests of transparency, I don’t always win, but I like winning and I want to get you the very best result possible. Rest assured, I will fight your corner every step of the way.

How much do professional negligence claims cost?

Typically, quite a lot, I won’t beat around the bush.

However, we tend to act in professional negligence on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) also known as a “no win no fee” agreement, although this is subject to terms, availability and an initial advice fee.

Very often, our clients have the benefit of Legal Expenses Insurance through their Home Insurance. We would recommend that you investigate whether you have any insurance which would cover legal costs.
