Professional advisors (including lawyers, financial advisors, architects and other professionals) have a duty to advise their clients with reasonable care and skill. When you engage a professional advisor, you are entitled to rely on their expertise.
A failure to act with due care and skill may give rise to a professional negligence claim against an advisor, particularly where monetary or other loss has been suffered as a result.
Professional negligence claims are complex, and the standards of reasonable care and skill will vary as between professions and the particular circumstances of your case.
