Disputes with solicitors

How DAS Law can help you

Our experienced team of dispute resolution lawyers will provide you with practical legal advice if your solicitor has been negligent or breached your agreement.

These are some of the outcomes we can achieve for you:

Important things to consider

Here are some important things you should be aware of regarding your legal problem:

• Proving that a solicitor was negligent can be challenging. You must show that no reasonably competent solicitor would have given the advice your solicitor gave or failed to do the things your solicitor failed to do.
• Because we are experienced solicitors ourselves, we are well placed to determine whether your previous solicitors breached their duty to you.  The next question is whether that breach has caused you to suffer loss. 
• The time limit for bringing a claim could start to run from the date of the solicitor’s error or when negligent advice was acted on, rather than when the solicitor’s negligence was discovered.

How much will it cost?

If you would like DAS Law to help you with your dispute with a solicitor, there are a number of ways to fund your legal costs.

Legal expenses insurance (LEI)

If you have a commercial insurance policy this may include LEI cover. If so, your legal costs may be covered by that policy, subject to its terms and conditions. If you are unsure if your insurance policy includes LEI cover, we will check this with you.

Personal LEI

No legal expenses insurance

Unfortunately we are unable to take on private instructions at the moment, and can only work with customers who have legal expenses insurance.
