    This area covers defending individuals and organisations facing claims of professional negligence, where a professional (such as a solicitor, doctor, architect or engineer) is alleged to have failed to meet the required standard. A solicitor practising in this area investigates the claim, reviews the evidence, prepares pleadings, negotiates with the claimant, and supports or conducts court or tribunal proceedings on the client’s behalf. It also involves instructing experts, managing disclosure, and advising on settlement options.

    “Words are not enough to describe my appreciation and gratitude to Victoria Rees at Richard Nelson LLP for her help , support, professionalisms, reassuring attitude and competence in dealing with my matter . At beginning we approached the PDA for help and support with my professional case and what a disappointment they turned out to be considering the considerable annual fee they charge as a member . Then by recommendation we approached Richard Nelson LLP for help and support where Victoria took over the case. From the beginning her promptness, professionalism, and reassuring attitude was astonishing and comforting. She kept us ahead of the process and helped us every step of the way until we reached an excellent conclusion to my case . Thank you Victoria and my gratitude is endless !. ”

    “James Walsh was amazing! A family member was seeking support with a legal issue regarding negligence and James was so supportive throughout. Even when the family member passed away he was great at supporting me to move forward with the case and for it to come to a closure. I feel like nothing was too much for James, with constant support, going as far as even visiting my family member in hospital, he was fantastic. Professional, friendly and kind but still got the job done. Would recommend to all. Thank you again James”
