How can we help?
If you feel that you have been mis-sold financial products of any kind by a financial advisor or insurance broker in a personal or business capacity, you could be due compensation for professional negligence. Unfortunately, we live in a world which offers consumers a wide range of investment and insurance products. Some schemes can be difficult to understand, so many of us tend to rely on financial advisors or insurance brokers to consider our personal circumstances and provide us with advice and guidance on investment and insurance products. If the advice or guidance is wrong, this can cause financial hardship and may mean that you can sue your financial advisor for compensation. Contact us to discuss your situation on 01616 966 229.
Professional negligence cases against financial advisors or insurance brokers can take many forms. The most common form is the mis-selling of a particular financial product. This could take the form of a mortgage, secured loan, life insurance policy, payment protection insurance or an equity release scheme.
