We can offer support and advice if you have been let down by a financial advisor.
When you ask an accountant, financial advisor or insurance broker to look after your financial affairs you expect to rely on their advice and expertise and if they let you down it can have devastating consequences.
If you have lost money because of mistakes or poor advice, you may be able to claim compensation for professional negligence.
Common examples of negligence by accountants and financial advisors include:
- Missing deadlines for returns
- Incorrect tax advice, including in relation to Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs)
- Mistakes in preparing accounts or auditing errors
- Incorrectly valuing a company, business or assets
- Incorrect advice on pensions, annuity policies and Self Invested Pension Plans (SIPPS)
- Inappropriate investment advice, including in relation to stocks, shares, bonds, ISAs, Interest Rate Swaps and Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes (UCIS)
- Failing to advise properly on investments and risks
- Failure to disclose commission or an interest in financial products
- Not disclosing material facts to an insurer
- Not following instructions
- Giving incorrect advice
- Not acting in your best interests
In most cases, accountants, financial advisors and insurance brokers will have professional indemnity insurance to cover such claims.
Negligence is more than just poor service. To bring a claim for professional negligence against your accountant, financial advisor or insurance broker, you will need to prove that their advice or actions fell below the standard you should reasonably expect and that this has caused you to suffer a financial loss. This can be difficult and require the assistance of an expert solicitor.
