When employing a solicitor for any reason, whether it is for the drafting of legal documents, giving advice or overseeing complex legal proceedings, it is reasonable to expect that they are experts in their field and carry out work to a good standard. Unfortunately, some solicitors make mistakes by giving bad advice or failing to handle affairs correctly, resulting in not only disappointment but also financial loss.
Clients often place great trust in the knowledge and expertise of solicitors which is why their negligence can be very damaging. Claiming redress following solicitor negligence is a complex area of law which is why you will need the help of expert solicitors to help put things right.
Areas of solicitor negligence
Solicitors are involved with many different areas of the law. However, mistakes seem to crop up most commonly in the following types of work.
Property – Failing to properly advise on the sale or purchase of property, giving poor advice on planning matters or missing time limits on landlord and tenant cases.
Personal Injury – Missing time limits and allowing cases to be out of time, providing wrong advice on the valuation of damages and so under-settling claims or otherwise failing to put forward the clients’ best case.
Employment – Losing out following bad advice when claiming against an employer, such as missing time limits or not conducting hearings properly.
Matrimonial – Where divorce settlements are mishandled, particularly through under or over-settling the financial part of the divorce.
