    This area covers claims where a professional person or firm (for example a solicitor, accountant, engineer or architect) has given negligent advice or services that caused loss. A solicitor practising in this area investigates the claim, collects records, instructs experts, drafts pleadings and settlement documents, negotiates with the other side, and, if necessary, issues a claim in court or in arbitration to recover compensation for the client’s losses.

    Kendal Litherland Your solicitor Kendal Litherland Consultant 5.0 from 1 client review
    “We consulted Kendal Litherland for advice on a potential negligence claim. He is obviously very experienced in this area, his advice was clear and concise throughout and he was particularly helpful ensuring that we understood the issues and the process. His choice of Counsel and Mediator was excellent resulting in the matter being settled by mediation.”

    “We've been working with Nelsons Solicitors on a long-running negligence case, and I can’t speak highly enough of Carolle White, who has been our main solicitor throughout. She has consistently shown professionalism, respect, and genuine kindness during what has been a very difficult time for us. Her support, clarity, and dedication have made a real difference, and we’re very grateful for all her hard work. Highly recommended.”

    “Just writing this review to say how very professional Hopkins Solicitors carried out our Civil Claim against another Conveyancing solicitors. Although the claim was long and protracted and was over 3 years from start to finish, Carl gave us appraisals all the way with good communication. We got a very happy outcome and would highly recommend Hopkins Solicitors to anyone.”
