Solicitors’ Negligence and Liability, Third Edition

William Flenley QC and Tom Leech QC

With chapters by Thomas Grant, Graham Reid and Paul Mitchell

Enormous value” for those who practise in solicitors’ negligence

“…it is of enormous value to have a book which covers such [complex] challenges as well as providing a complete guide to all aspects of solicitors’ negligence, especially if it deals with the topic in a full, reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date manner…”
The Rt Hon Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, in the foreword to the second edition

Four years of changes all included


In the four years since the last edition of Solicitors’ Negligence and Liability published the new round of mortgage lenders’ claims and the disciplinary changes of October 2011 have changed the face of this area of professional negligence practice.

As such Bloomsbury Professional is delighted to announce the publication of this third edition – the essential title written and updated by practitioners who deal daily with claims against solicitors.

Leading title to focus solely on solicitors’ negligence

For those who need more in-depth guidance on solicitors’ negligence than they have access to in professional negligence titles, Solicitors’ Negligence and Liability, Third Edition brings practitioners the very best comprehensive and practical analysis in this single practice area.

It draws together every area of solicitors’ negligence that practitioners encounter in their daily work and covers contract, tort and equity, as well as solicitors’ duties of confidentiality, limitation, contributory negligence and contribution. It also contains extensive thematic coverage of solicitors’ claims in areas such as conveyancing, mortgage lending, litigation, wills, estates and trusts and wasted costs.

SRA investigations, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and more

New to this edition are two brand new chapters on the regulatory framework for solicitors, SRA investigations and proceedings before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.

Further comprehensive updates reflect all relevant legislation and case law changes since the last edition published in 2008. In particular it contains an extensive and topical discussion of mortgage lenders' claims and significant new cases such as The Achilleas (remoteness), Haugesund v Depfa (Saamco), Lloyds Bank v Markandan & Uddin (lenders’ claims) and Nationwide BS v Dunlop Haywards (contribution). This edition also documents the growing influence that professional regulation has on solicitors' liabilities, covering regulatory redress, disciplinary sanctions, the SRA Code of Conduct 2011 and the impact of conduct rules on duties.

Essential reading

Solicitors’ Negligence and Liability, Third Edition offers practical assistance and in-depth understanding for anyone concerned with solicitors' liabilities, including legal practitioners, insurers, regulators, claims-handlers, risk and compliance partners in law firms and anyone involved in the pursuit of solicitors' negligence claims.
