Professional Negligence

Professional advisers don’t always give the right advice – sometimes it can be wrong. At Stephens Scown, we can help you to deal with a wide range of claims against professionals, including solicitors, barristers, accountants, architects, surveyors, valuers and financial advisers. If you’ve received the wrong advice and you’ve suffered financial loss as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. 

Our expert lawyers are on hand to advise and guide you through the process. We’ll look at all the options open to you from alternative ways of dispute resolution to last resort court proceedings.
