If you have tried to make an employment law claim against your employer, but your lawyers’ mishandling, mistakes, or bad advice have caused you to lose out financially, you may be able to claim compensation from those lawyers for their professional negligence.
Few events can unsettle your life in the same way as legal difficulties with your employer. Whether it concerns unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, or another kind of employment law dispute, the upheaval and uncertainty can be highly distressing.
But this can be made even worse if you’ve instructed lawyers – whom you believed would help you – and their mistakes have undermined your chances to recover the compensation you deserve.

What might indicate that my employment claim was handled negligently?
There are many situations which might indicate professional negligence by your employment lawyers. These include situations where your lawyers:
- Missed your claim’s limitation date, preventing you from making the claim
- Did not file key documents with the Employment Tribunal in time
- Gave you incorrect or careless advice on any aspect of your claim
- Under-valued your claim
- Settled your claim for significantly less than it was worth
- Made mistakes when drafting crucial documents – such as a Settlement Agreement, for example
- Did not take, or ignored, your instructions on a key part of the claim
If your employment lawyers made any of the above mistakes, and this caused you financial loss, or reduced an anticipated financial gain, then you will have a strong basis for a professional negligence claim against them.
