Everybody can make mistakes, but when a professional makes a mistake, this can prove costly to their client. Luckily most professionals have insurance to cover the cost of rectifying their mistakes. Samuels Solicitors LLP have been assisting clients in making claims against negligent professionals for a number of decades.
Claims against accountants are a type of professional negligence claim and arise when the negligent advice has caused a client to suffer financial loss. Claims against accountants and other financial professionals can be brought if the accountant provides advice which falls below the standard that a client is entitled to expect.
Negligence is when your solicitor's work falls below the standard you can reasonably expect as a client. If the solicitor's negligence causes you financial loss, then you can bring a claim against the solicitor for damages to compensate you for that loss. Claims against solicitors are a type of professional negligence, a particular area of niche expertise for our firm.

Samuels were recommended by a friend . I can’t rate them highly enough. Rebecca and Nicky have been most supportive since January 2020, in what has been a really tough period, and I’ve had to use the firm for 3 separate legal issues.
Rebecca has been compassionate, sympathetic, understanding whilst being so professional.
What I immediately liked about Samuels from my initial contact, was how friendly they appeared, rather than corporate.
I would highly recommend Samuels. A local firm, for local people, is how I would describe them.

I cannot recommend the firm highly enough. Mark not only dealt with our case in a professional & informed manner but also advised the best course of action for us, which did not always mean continuing to require his services. At all stages we felt informed about the process & risks with litigation and this helped us to make an informed discussion. At a very stressful time, Mark was also very empathetic, approachable and patient and fully invested in achieving the best outcome for us. He also linked us in with some exceptional specialist services and we were sure that all appropriate avenues and

I honestly cannot praise Samuels Solicitors enough. I looked at a lot of options before going with them, and - for the legal issue I needed help with - couldn’t find anywhere else as friendly, competent and decently priced. Matthew Howe provided excellent legal advice - he was quick to understand my concerns, was great at strategising and communicating well and was a calming force in a stressful process. Would highly recommend.

Matthew Howe at Samuels has been very helpful, and practical, in helping me to resolve a significant issue. He explained clearly what my options were and probable outcomes, as well as associated costs.
He responded to any queries promptly & courteously, was understanding of my concerns, and has also followed-up to ensure the agreement reached was being adhered to.
I would highly recommend him.

I was involved in a long drawn out convoluted contract dispute with my previous business partner.
I had previously instructed a local firm of solicitors who were unable to help me. Followed by instructing a large solicitors firm whom I had found via my works union. Unhappy with their service and advice provided, I searched online for a solicitors firm who specialise in contracts dispute and I was lucky enough to find Samuels solicitors who have been nothing but exceptional from start to finish.
I was assigned Matthew who was very professional and supportive throughout.
I sent a mountain of paperwork

I was in need of legal support for building construction matters and initially engaged with a local Solicitor, however after 2 weeks of no responses, we carried out a specific Google search for construction oriented Solicitors. Samuels were including in the listings and a visit of their website indicated they were sufficiently qualified, and more importantly, experienced.
Matthew H. was appointed and my primary contact throughout the process, he handled the matter expertly and efficiently. Timescales were provided and adhered to, the level of communication was above expectations and from a business
