Professional Negligence
Professional Negligence Solicitors in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
When you hire a professional, you expect their advice and service to meet a reasonable standard. If poor advice or negligent work has caused you financial loss or damage, you may have grounds to bring a professional negligence claim. At Pembridge Solicitors, we help individuals and businesses across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire take legal action against professionals who’ve let them down.
We provide clear, practical advice on your options — and work to recover the compensation you’re entitled to.
What Is Professional Negligence?
Professional negligence occurs when a qualified individual fails to meet the standard of care expected in their field, causing a client financial or reputational harm. Common examples include:
- Accountants providing incorrect tax advice
- Surveyors failing to identify structural defects
- Financial advisors recommending unsuitable investments
- Solicitors missing court deadlines or mishandling claims
- Architects or engineers producing flawed designs
To succeed in a claim, you must show that the professional breached their duty and that this directly caused you loss.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
We advise clients in claims involving a wide range of professionals, including:
- Accountants and tax advisors
- Surveyors and valuers
- Architects and engineers
- Solicitors and conveyancers
- Financial advisors
- Insurance brokers
- Construction consultants
Whether you’re an individual or a business, we’ll assess the facts of your case and guide you through the next steps.
How We Can Help
We offer strategic legal support at every stage of a claim:
- Reviewing the advice or service that caused the issue
- Assessing whether the professional breached their duty of care
- Gathering evidence of your losses and how they were caused
- Sending a formal Letter of Claim to the professional or their insurer
- Negotiating a settlement or issuing court proceedings if necessary
We aim to resolve matters through negotiation wherever possible but are ready to litigate if required.
Funding Your Claim
We’ll discuss the most appropriate funding option for your case, including:
- Fixed-fee initial advice
- Hourly rates for complex claims
- Conditional Fee Agreements (No Win No Fee) where suitable
All funding arrangements are discussed in advance, so there are no unexpected costs.
