We're proactive

We don’t just look after you, we look out for you.  That means we bring you insights, advice and keep you up to date on all kinds of legal matters so you can keep ahead.

We’re expert-led

We match a member of the team with the right expertise to every client, who will invest time getting to know you, who will look after your interests and ensure you have access to the whole firm when you need it.

We talk your language

The legal and financial matters might be complex, but we aim to keep things straightforward and explain everything in terms that are relevant to you.

Overview

Professional negligence claims: Expert legal advice

We all rely on other people to do jobs for us – builders, accountants, surveyors, yes, even solicitors! And when we pay a professional to carry out a job for us, we expect it to be done to a professional standard and completed properly. Most of the time the job is done, we pay the bill and both parties are happy. 

Unfortunately, there are times when the work is not finished properly – or you might uncover problems further down the line. When you’re let down by professionals, there can be serious consequences which you’re left to resolve. So what can you do?

We are here to help

Tees can help you hold professionals to account for the work they’ve done, and any problems it may have caused. Our team of professional negligence solicitors will assess the prospects of your claim and manage the financial risk of bringing court proceedings. 

When a professional doesn’t do their job properly, many people will try to sort it out themselves. The results of professional negligence can be devastating. We can help you recover damages for any losses you’ve incurred, and get an explanation of what went wrong.  We’re here to help put things back on track and find a solution that works for you. 

How we can help

If you’d like to meet one of our experts for a confidential, no obligation chat, please get in touch.

We have offices across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, but we can help you wherever you are in England and Wales.
