At CEL Solicitors, we understand claiming against a barrister for negligence can feel daunting, but barristers can also fail in their duty of care. If you’ve suffered financial loss due to a barrister’s negligence, our expert team is here to help you seek the compensation you deserve.
Barrister negligence occurs when a barrister does not meet the professional standards expected, resulting in harm or financial loss for their client. Barristers owe a duty of care to their clients and must provide competent legal advice while handling cases properly.
Negligence can manifest as negligent advice, failure to represent a client effectively in court, missing important deadlines, mishandling crucial documents, or not cross-examining key witnesses correctly.
At CEL Solicitors, we specialise in professional negligence cases, including negligence claims against barristers. Our experienced professional negligence solicitors will review your case and advise you on the best way to proceed. Whether your barrister failed to provide sound legal advice or did not fulfil their duty of care, we are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for you.
We offer:
We ensure transparency and clear communication at every stage, providing unwavering support throughout your case.
Barrister negligence can occur in various areas of law. Here are some common scenarios where barrister negligence may lead to a claim:
Poor representation in criminal trials, failure to challenge evidence, or neglecting to advise on crucial aspects of your defence can result in wrongful convictions or harsher sentences. If your barrister’s negligence has affected the outcome of your case, you may be able to sue for compensation.
Negligent advice in divorce or child custody matters, such as failing to secure a fair settlement or missing key deadlines, can lead to significant financial loss. We can help you pursue a barrister negligence claim in these situations.
If your barrister failed to represent your personal injury claim adequately—such as by missing deadlines or not presenting key evidence—you may have been awarded less compensation than you deserved. This could provide grounds for a barrister negligence claim.
Negligent handling of business disputes by a barrister can lead to serious financial losses or adverse effects. Errors such as providing poor advice or failing to properly represent your business interests may form the basis of a negligence claim.
Errors in representing you in wills and probate matters, such as giving incorrect legal advice or mishandling court procedures, can cause undue delays or financial loss. If you have faced these issues, it is essential to seek legal advice to explore your options.
In each of these areas of law, if you believe you have suffered financial loss due to your barrister’s negligence, consulting with professional negligence solicitors is crucial. They can assess your case and guide you on the next steps.
