Usually, when you engage a professional to provide a service, you get just that: a professional service. You get, in other words, a high level of expertise, delivered to acknowledged professional standards. But this isn’t always the case. Occasionally, the professional concerned – whether a person or an organisation – can fail to provide advice or guidance to the standard that is reasonably expected of them. This is known as professional negligence, and it can have many causes, from incompetence to administrative errors. But whatever the reason behind it, it can result in serious consequences to the client – consequences that range from wasted costs and missed opportunities to significant personal distress.
If you suspect you are a victim of professional negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Alternatively, you may feel that you’ve been unjustifiably accused of such negligence. Either way, we can help. Whether you’re an individual or an organisation, and no matter what sphere of professional expertise is concerned, our specialist team can assist you in pursuing or defending a professional negligence claim. We’re able to make an expert assessment of the merits of the claim concerned, however complex, and we can call upon some of the most experienced expert witnesses and counsel in the country. Wherever possible, we secure early settlement through mediation. However, in cases where mediation cannot, or does not, provide a resolution, we instigate and manage litigation pro-actively, efficiently and cost effectively, while keeping clients fully informed at every step along the way.
"We had some unfortunate circumstances, leading us to the need of a solicitor. Jill was recommended to us on a facebook support group forum and aren't we glad she was. We got in touch with her and she immediately made us feel at ease. Her confidence and belief in her ability with our case was a huge relief."
"I have been a client of Jill since she founded ThomasLitigation. My case is a complicated property dispute involving several parties. As a subject matter expert for such disputes Jill quickly identified the key issues and we agreed a way forward to put to the other parties. When dealing with other parties Jill is assertive in her approach and is very effective in making her client’s position clear as was evident when we proceeded through formal mediation with the other parties."
"I have worked with Jill on several esoteric corporate taxation insolvency cases requiring creative and commercial approaches, which Jill adopted robustly and practically. It is unusual to find a solicitor with her experience in these matters and her calm, technical proficiency makes her a pleasure to deal with in the sort of specialist matters in which I am instructed. I would not hesitate to recommend her."
"I have known Jill Thomas as a lawyer for many years. She is consistently at the top of her game. She is very good technically and bold when it comes to looking after her clients’ interests. Jill is also one of the best mediators I have experienced, settling many difficult cases with a calm, sensible approach."
