Whether you're facing a claim or seeking redress, we work with precision to protect your interests and deliver commercially sound outcomes.

WHAT WE DO

Resolving professional negligence disputes with precision and protection

At Rose Legal, Principal Solicitor Joe Rose oversees each matter with strategic insight drawn from decades of litigation experience. We act swiftly to assess claims, whether you're pursuing a matter or responding to one. Our team supports professionals, clients and businesses through complex disputes, combining deep legal expertise with commercial acumen to resolve matters efficiently and with minimal disruption.

How can a lawyer help in professional negligence matters?

We don’t just respond to claims — we strategically manage them. At Rose Legal, we specialise in resolving disputes involving professional negligence, including allegations of breach of duty, poor advice, or service failure. Whether you’re seeking compensation or defending a claim, we guide you through the legal standards set out in the Civil Liability Act 2002, assess the strength of your case or exposure, and build clear legal strategies tailored to your objectives.

We understand that professional negligence matters can be stressful — especially with unclear legal fees. That’s why Rose Legal offers transparent, fixed-fee and value-based pricing options. You’ll receive clear guidance on costs from day one, with no surprises — just outcome-driven legal support focused on resolution.

Our team has decades of experience acting for professionals as well as individuals and businesses impacted by negligence.
