When you rely on the expertise of a professional such as a solicitor, surveyor, accountant, architect, or financial adviser you are entitled to expect a reasonable standard of care and competence. If that standard is not met, and you suffer financial loss as a result, you may have grounds for a professional negligence claim.

Mathew Solicitors advise individuals and businesses on pursuing claims against professionals whose negligent advice, services, or conduct has caused harm. We act swiftly to assess liability, quantify losses, and seek effective resolution through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

We handle claims involving:

• Solicitors – missed deadlines, negligent advice, failed litigation or conveyancing errors
• Surveyors – undervaluation, failure to detect defects
• Accountants – tax advice errors, misstatements
• Financial advisers – unsuitable investment advice
• Architects and engineers – design flaws, planning or compliance failures

Our approach is strategic, cost-conscious, and results focused. We will advise you on the strength of your case, your options for redress, and the prospects of recovering compensation.

Strict time limits apply, so early advice is essential.
