McDermott Smith Law professional negligence claims
Were you represented by McDermott Smith Law in relation to housing disrepair, motor finance, business energy, undisclosed commission or Japanese knotweed claims on a ‘no win no fee’ and are now being pursued for legal court costs or other charges? If so, we are here to help.
Hugh James is currently assisting ex-clients of McDermott Smith Law, investigating whether they can bring claims for professional negligence seeking to recover losses incurred due to the handling of their underlying claims by McDermott Smith Law. We have already helped one individual involved in a complex claim before the Court of Appeal.
McDermott Smith Law was placed into administration on 1 July 2024 and the Solicitors Regulation Authority intervened shortly thereafter. Its recent accounts show that it had creditors of c.£37.5M but it has professional indemnity insurance cover in place to meet claims.
