Claims against Accountants and Financial Advisers

Members of the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association

Suing an accountant or financial adviser can be extremely complex. The issues at stake are often technical and your lawyers have to be able to guide you through the tangle of financial regulations. They need to know when to bring in independent experts and where to find them.

Cripps Harries Hall LLP has considerable experience of suing accountants and financial advisers. Claims commonly arise out of:

  • The failure to correctly draw up accounts
  • The failure to file accounts on time
  • Negligent advice concerning accounting or tax matters
  • Negligent advice on investment decisions

Our expertise has helped us to recover considerable amounts for our clients. For example:

  • We recently brought a claim against a financial services company which had given our client bad advice in connection with an investment of more than £1 million. Following mediation, we were able to recover over £300,000 for our client.
  • We acted for a client in a claim against his former accountants for negligent advice regarding US tax credits. This matter settled early in the proceedings by negotiation.

If you would like to discuss your claim over the telephone please contact our team on 0845 475 0139 or ‘Request a call back’ and we will contact you.

We are able to act for you if the professional you allege has been negligent is based in England and Wales.  We regret that we are unable to assist with claims against professionals based in other jurisdictions, such as Scotland or Northern Ireland.
