Duncan Lewis Litigation Solicitors – Barristers

Barristers are trained to perform at a very high level and under pressure – but sometimes things can go wrong between a barrister and a client and the relationship breaks down.

If a barrister has acted in a way that would constitute professional negligence, it is possible to make a claim against them for compensation, including claims involving:

Advising incorrectly that a case has no merit
Drafting errors in legal papers
Failing to advise on appeals processes
Misadvising on plea in criminal case
Missing deadlines
Negligent or incorrect legal advice
Not being fully prepared for a hearing
Not quantifying damages accurately
Wrong advice on settlement of claim (eg Part 36 offers in PI claims).

Taking legal action against a legal expert for professional negligence can be a daunting prospect – and Duncan Lewis advises client to get in touch as soon as possible in any dispute with a barrister.
