At CEL Solicitors, we understand that legal negligence can harm your case and cause financial loss. If a solicitor, barrister, or legal adviser has failed you, you may be entitled to compensation. We’re here to guide you through bringing a solicitor negligence claim and recovering what you deserve.
In simple terms, solicitor negligence occurs when a solicitor or barrister fails to meet the professional standards required, resulting in damage or financial loss to their client. Like other professionals, solicitors owe a duty of care to their clients, meaning they must perform their work to a reasonable standard.
Mistakes such as missing court deadlines, providing incorrect advice, failing to advise on legal costs or mishandling settlements may entitle you to sue a solicitor for professional negligence.
At CEL Solicitors, we specialise in solicitor negligence claims. Our experienced professional negligence solicitors will review your case and advise you on the best course of action. Whether your solicitor has failed by missing time limits, giving poor advice, or not fulfilling their duty of care, we aim to resolve matters quickly and efficiently.

Solicitor negligence can occur in various areas of law. Below are some common examples where professional negligence lawyers can help you recover losses:
Errors such as failing to conduct proper searches, missing deadlines, or mishandling contracts can lead to significant financial loss or property disputes. If you’ve experienced negligence during a property transaction, you may have a claim against your solicitor.
When personal injury claims are mishandled, such as by failing to gather crucial evidence or meet claim deadlines, you may be left with a lower compensation award than you deserve, or you may even lose your claim altogether. Suing a solicitor in this case may help recover your losses.
Business disputes require precise legal management. Solicitor negligence, such as giving poor advice or mishandling court documents, can lead to financial losses and missed opportunities for businesses.
In divorce or child custody cases, solicitor mistakes such as providing incorrect advice or missing time limits can result in unfair settlements. Our team of professional negligence solicitors can help if you’ve been impacted by these errors.
Errors in drafting wills or managing estates can delay the distribution of assets or result in incorrect allocations. These mistakes can cause serious financial loss, leading to solicitor negligence claims.
Failing to handle employment disputes correctly—whether in contracts, dismissal procedures, or tribunal cases—can result in legal risks or financial loss. If your solicitor has failed to protect your rights, you may have a case.
Solicitor negligence in medical negligence claims can occur when your solicitor fails to gather necessary evidence or undervalues your case, resulting in reduced compensation or the loss of your claim.
Inadequate representation or failure to challenge evidence in criminal cases can lead to wrongful convictions or harsher sentences. If your solicitor’s negligence has affected the outcome of your case, you may be entitled to compensation.
Solicitor negligence in immigration matters, such as submitting incorrect visa applications or missing deadlines, can cause visa rejections or delays in securing legal status. You may be able to sue a solicitor for their failure to meet professional standards.
