Professional negligence claims* against Financial Advisors, banks and insurance brokers

Lavelle Partners have been instructed in many cases relating to the miss-selling of financial products through intermediaries.

Financial intermediaries have a duty to ensure that financial products are properly constructed and sold to the appropriate client in the appropriate manner. Where an intermediary fails in that duty in a way that has a negative impact on your financial interests, you may have grounds for a professional negligence claim.

We are the leading Irish firm in the area of investment disputes and we have built up an extensive network of the best independent experts to advise on a wide range of investments.

‘One of the key strengths of Lavelle Partners is that they put a lot of focus and effort on understanding their client’s business no matter how complex or bespoke a particular process is and they always manage to find practical solutions to any problems we encounter in our business. From my experience with other law firms, Lavelle Partners are more “hands on” and more client focused E.g. regular updates are provided on cases and tasks which they are working on. Lavelle Partners are excellent at keeping their clients up-to-date on fees and costs so there are never any surprises when it comes to their invoices. Another key strength of Lavelle Partners is their excellent publications and updates provided to clients on all legal areas relevant to businesses.’
