Cripps Harries Hall

If you are let down by a professional, you may be entitled to compensation from them or their insurers.

What we do

Our role is to hear your story, look at the relevant papers, understand what went wrong and let you know whether you have a claim.

It is always necessary to balance the cost of pursuing a claim against the likely outcome. In some cases we can agree to work on a Conditional Fee Agreement ('no win no fee'). In others we can offer alternative methods of billing. We try to accommodate your particular circumstances.

Most claims are settled without the need to go to court. We adopt a balanced but robust approach in the negotiating process.

We have excellent relations with the top barristers' chambers practising in professional negligence and, where a barrister is required to assist with your case, we will ensure that you receive the most appropriate and specialist help.
