Solicitors' Negligence Claims Soar The Law Society Gazette has reported that negligence claims against solicitors are soaring. City firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain reported an increase of 80% in claims they handled last year against other solicitors. The report includes warnings that the claims will continue to rise as clients with assets declining in value see professional advisers as tempting targets to blame. Mediation plays an important role in the resolution of such claims. The benefits include : • Speeding up the process • Reducing the costs • Extending the range of solutions beyond compensation payments • Neutral reality testing to risk assess claims If you are involved in a professional negligence claim, either as a claimant or defendant, one of our Mediators at NorthWest Mediation Solutions may be able to help you to reach an early and satisfactory settlement of the claim. To find out more and with no obligation call Peter Whitman now on 01254 720278 or e-mail enquiries@nwmediationsolutions.co.uk.
