If you have not received the standard of service which you can expect or which you required from a professional we will be able to help you. We handle amongst others, claims in the following areas:

• Claims against solicitors and barristers (including, where appropriate, applications to the Solicitors' Compensation Fund)
• Claims against surveyors, architects and valuers
• Claims against accountants
• Professional conduct complaints
  

Claims against professionals require a high degree of litigation expertise, since professionals' insurers usually employ expensive teams of lawyers to resist such claims. We are able to put claimants on an equal footing by providing the expertise required to deal with such claims. Public Funding may be available. See Costs and Funding for further information in this respect.

We may also able to offer you Conditional Fee Agreements which have commonly been referred to as "No Win No Fee".

The Lord Chancellor has now set a pre action protocol prior to taking the matter to court.  This provides a framework through which Litigation could potentially be avoided, so it is important that if you are not satisfied with a service by other professional (that - remove) you consult us as soon as possible to avoid delay in respect of any compensation you may be entitled to.
