Areas of Professional Negligence

Solicitors

At Lavelle Coleman we recognise that many people who encounter problems with their solicitors feel that they have nowhere to turn to. Over the years our firm has dealt with many solicitors' negligence cases. They can arise as negligence in the following areas:

1. Failing to issue proceedings within the appropriate time limit
2. Failing to convey the proper lands
3. Failing to follow instructions
4. Failing to honour undertakings to banks or other solicitors
5. Losing title documents
6. Failing to account for monies
7. Failing to provide appropriate commercial documentation
8. Failing to provide the correct legal advice

We understand that consulting with a solicitor can be a stressful enough exercise without having to consider the effects of the legal mistake on the client themselves.  At all times our firm acts in a respectful and professional manner and will be happy to advise you in this area.  All queries will be dealt with in the strictist of confidence.

If you wish to consult with a professional in this matter contact Dave Coleman or Stephanie McCarthy.

Medical

Our dedicated Medical Negligence team comprises a specialised group of solicitors who work daily in this area. Our professional team of solicitors will keep you updated throughout your claim and will always be available to discuss any concerns that you may have in relation to your case.

Financial Advisors

At Lavelle Coleman we have been instructed in many cases of the miss-selling of financial products through intermediaries.  The duty on a financial intermediary to ensure that financial products are properly constructed and sold to the appropriate client in the appropriate manner is a very high one. 

If you believe that you have been miss-sold a product please make contact with either Dave Coleman or Stephanie McCarthy.

Engineers/Architects

In many building cases either defective design or construction can lead to a right of action by an owner against the professional team that provided the building. All professionals should carry appropriate indemnity insurance for errors made by them in the course of their profession.  If you believe that your property has been inappropriately designed or constructed you may have a right of action against one or more of the professional team involved in providing the building. 

For more information on the advice we provide in this area please contact either Dave Coleman or Stephanie McCarthy.

Accountants

Like all professionals accountants have a duty of care for their clients and others who may have cause to rely upon their professional work.  This can take the form of a failure to properly complete annual accounts or to other services requested of them by their clients in a timely and appropriate manner.

If you have any queries regarding the professional competence of your accountant please contact either Dave Coleman or Stephanie McCarthy.

Auctioneers

Many auctioneers and valuers are charged with providing valuations for buildings for both private clients and institutions such as banks.  An appropriate valuation can create a loss and this may be actionable against the auctioneers.

If you feel that you have suffered a loss as a result of an inappropriate valuation please contact either Dave Coleman or Stephanie McCarthy. 

Contact us

Our professional team, whether acting for the professional or the client, will listen carefully and sensitively, in confidence, to a complaint and offer advice on how to deal with the manner in an impartial way.

If you believe that a professional has not acted in an appropriate manner and you have suffered a loss as a result, please contact:
