Professional negligence

When a professional person fails to do their job to the standards expected, you can be left with a substantial financial loss. Gateley’s professional negligence lawyers are here to help.

A duty of care is owed by a professional person to their clients – they must perform their job with reasonable care and to a reasonable standard. Where they have failed to do so, and this has caused loss, professional negligence has occurred.
