Barristers
Solicitors and barristers get involved in many different types of matters for both individuals and businesses. With the ever increasing speed and complexity of modern life mistakes can occur. A barrister will only be found to have been negligent however if they have failed to act with the degree of care and skill to be expected of the reasonably competent barrister practising in that particular area of work. Historically barristers appearing in court could not be sued but that protection has now been removed.
Not every error of judgement will result in a claim. Claims for barrister negligence can involve:
- failing to advise at all or giving the wrong advice
- missing a limitation period such that a claim becomes statute barred
- negotiating too low a settlement
- failing to act with sufficient speed such that an important deadline is missed
Whatever the mistake you need to use a specialist professional negligence lawyer to get you the compensation you deserve.
