Professional Negligence may arise when this duty is breached, or falls short of what was expected. For example, if poor workmanship is shown, if you are given poor advice, or if the professional misrepresents themselves or their experience.

Professional negligence can occur across a number of industries, but can be most common in:

Construction and building contracts
Financial Services
Architecture
Legal Services
Quantity Surveying
Accountancy

A professional negligence claim is generally pursued to seek compensation and to restore the individual or business to the position they were in before the breach of duty occurred.

However, at HHD Solicitors, we understand that methods other than litigation may be better served to resolve certain disputes. Where possible, we engage in mediation and alternative dispute resolution to avoid lengthy court proceedings. We also encourage adoption of the Pre-Action Protocol of the High Court for Commercial Actions, which promotes the early exchange of full information and helps parties reach settlement without recourse to litigation.

However, in the event that litigation is necessary, you can be assured that our claims team is highly experienced in instigating claims against a range of professionals, including accountants, architects, building contractors, financial advisors, legal advisors and solicitors, surveyors and valuers, in order to achieve maximum recovery for you or your business.
