We deal with conflicts in business and will initially attempt to settle commercial disputes by agreement failing which we will not hesitate to issue legal proceedings in a court of law. We do not allow these matters to drag on and prefer to let a judge decide any contentious issues in early course. If you need urgent advice on a potentially litigious matter just call us on our helpline for instant free advice from a specialist company/commercial solicitor with absolutely no further obligation.

If you are the victim of inadequate advice or improper conduct by an Australian financial planner, a wealth manager, a bank or a financial institution we may be able to help you to claim compensation for any losses that you have suffered. A professional negligence solicitor specialises in claiming compensation if inadequate advice has resulted in the loss of money. It is a regular occurrence for Australian financial planners, wealth managers, banks and financial institutions to be sued by former clients due to the provision of inadequate advice or improperly performed services.

In most cases where a claim is intimated a professional negligence solicitor acting on behalf of lay clients will find that they are up against very experienced lawyers who have been appointed by the insurers of financial planners, wealth managers, banks and financial institutions and it is therefore important that the very best professional negligence solicitors are representing you.

Our professional negligence solicitors have the resources necessary to build a substantial legal case often involving complex investigation and detailed forensic analysis. Our commecial lawyers will give you a realistic appraisal of the strength of your case at an early stage and an estimate of how much compensation you could reasonably expect to receive in the event that your claim against a negligent Australian financial planner, wealth manager, bank or financial institution is successful.

Most advice given by financial planners, wealth managers, banks and financial institutions is more than adequate however there are instances where mistakes are made which can result in serious financial loss to a client, who has very few alternatives other than pursuing legal action against the service provider in order to recover damages. All of these service providers have a legal responsibility to employ “reasonable skill and care” when managing client affairs which means that they must have the same standard of expertise as others providing the same service.

In the event that the standard of care has been shown to be inadequate, the claimants’ professional negligence solicitor will need to prove that the negligence resulted in financial loss. The defendant can attempt to prove that the losses would have resulted in any event, with or without negligent advice. A claim against financial planners, wealth managers, banks and financial institutions can also be lost by the claimant if it can be shown by the defendant that the claimant would not have followed good advice or would have taken the same action regardless of any advice provided.

Proving financial loss is the final element to a successful claim. Losses which are deemed to be too remote cannot be claimed, meaning that losses not caused directly by the negligent professional advice and not reasonably foreseeable cannot be claimed.
