Professional Negligence Case Study: Claim Against a Solicitor

Robert Johnson, Partner and Head of Professional Negligence at Healys LLP, successfully represented a claimant win a professional negligence claim against a firm of solicitors.

This claim arose out of the manner in which a firm of solicitors dealt with a clients’ possession claim. The solicitors provided incorrect advice to the client to pursue claims against the incorrect tenant on the basis of a Section 21 Notice which was invalid. The solicitors failed to understand the relevant law and properly investigate the matter. We pursued a claim for loss of rent and wasted legal costs which was settled without the need to commence legal proceedings.

After the settlement the claimant said:

“I am very happy with the outcome Robert achieved for us and relieved that I didn’t have to go to court again. I will never ever forget how you helped me to sort out this problem. Thank you once again.”

In an interview with Latest TV, Robert discusses what one needs to know when considering a claim against a professional. Watch the full interview here.
