Top Standards, Accreditations and Memberships


If you have relied upon a professional and have experienced physical or financial loss because the service provided did not meet the standards that should reasonably be expected of a competent member of that profession, you may be entitled to compensation.
The professions most commonly cited as demonstrating professional negligence include:
- the legal profession
- the financial profession
- the building profession
The Legal Profession
You may be able to claim compensation for professional negligence against a solicitor who gives incorrect advice where the law is clear. A solicitor may also be professionally negligent if they delay in initiating or progressing litigation or if there is a conflict of interest between them and their client.
The Financial Profession
You may be able to claim compensation for professional negligence against a financial advisor if they failed to address your suitability for a particular investment or if they failed to ensure that you had an adequate understanding of the risks associated with a particular investment.
The Building Profession
You may be able to claim compensation for professional negligence against an architect or quantity surveyor if they provided an estimate that turned out to be misleading because they did not exercise reasonable skill and care in preparing it. An architect or quantity surveyor may be professionally negligent if they do not have sufficient knowledge of, or are not compliant with, legislation, planning and building control requirements and codes of practice.
You can claim compensation for professional negligence when it can be shown that the standard of work carried out by a professional contracted by you was worse than could reasonably be expected from a professional working in the same circumstances, and that you have suffered a loss.
