Professionals owe their clients a duty of care when providing their services.

That means acting in a way that another reasonably competent person within the same profession would. If they breach that duty of care they can be liable for the loss they have caused.

Our team has a wealth of experience and is consistently recognised throughout the north of England for our expertise in this complex area of law.

We have acted for commercial clients in a £1m-plus claim against former solicitors for breach of duty when advising on a commercial lease and against an architect for failing to prepare plans properly and in a timely way causing significant losses to our client.

We have acted for individuals against a financial/wealth management company for breach of duty when advising on pension arrangements involving the personal shareholdings and against a surveyor for negligently over-valuing a property in the Lake District National Park upon purchase.

Examples of how we can help you include actions against:

• Solicitors
• Accountants and financial advisers
• Architects
• Surveyors
• Trustees
• Vets
