Professional negligence
When professionals get it wrong, you shouldn’t be left paying the price. Solicitors and barristers have a duty to their clients to exercise reasonable care and skill. They are judged by the standard of a reasonably competent solicitor or barrister specialising in the area of law in which they practice and hold themselves out as having expertise in.
Our specialist professional negligence team assists with complex and high-value claims against professionals. Unlike larger commercial firms, we offer a highly personalised service, ensuring you receive full support throughout the claims process.
Why choose us
- Experience bringing claims against professionals across multiple sectors.
- Strong understanding of how insurers approach these cases — and how to negotiate effectively.
- A practical, results-focused approach: securing redress without unnecessary delay.
- Straightforward advice in plain English.
- We offer several fee structures, and where appropriate, we will consider no win-no fee arrangements after the initial risk assessment.
If a professional has let you down, we’ll help you hold them to account — and recover what you’ve lost.
Wills and probate disputes
When a loved one passes away, disputes over their estate can add further stress and strain. We help families, beneficiaries and executors resolve disputes with sensitivity and determination — protecting both your legal rights and your peace of mind.
Types of disputes we handle
- Contested Wills (validity, undue influence, lack of capacity).
- Inheritance Act claims (where reasonable financial provision has not been made).
- Disputes between executors, trustees and beneficiaries.
- Disagreements over the interpretation of Wills or Trusts.
- Claims of mismanagement or breach of duty by executors or trustees.
- Challenges to lifetime gifts or asset transfers.
- Disputes involving estates with international assets or cross-border issues.
Why clients choose us
- Specialist knowledge of probate litigation and trust law.
- Wealth of experience acting for executors, beneficiaries, trustees and dependants alike.
- A clear, practical focus on outcomes — whether securing provision, defending an estate, or resolving executor disputes.
Disputes over Wills and estates are never easy. With the right support, you can resolve them fairly and move forward with confidence.
No two disputes are the same. Tell us what’s happened, in confidence, and we’ll help you see the way forward.
