We won't let you down. Did you instruct solicitors to pursue a business energy commission claim that then went quiet? Were you ever told your claim against the broker might expire separately from your claim against the supplier?
Has your solicitor stopped updating you, restructured, or gone out of business altogether? If any of that sounds familiar, this is the guide you need to read.

Window to bring a professional negligence claim
When energy commission claims became the next big legal opportunity, hundreds of law firms signed up thousands of businesses on no win no fee terms. For many of those firms, signing businesses up was the priority. Actually running the cases was not.
Files sat untouched. Updates dried up. And all the while, legal time limits were running. Many businesses had two separate claims, one against their broker and one against their supplier, with two separate deadlines. Many solicitors let the broker claim expire while waiting for the supplier claim to develop. That decision was not the client's to make. It was made for them, without explanation, and without permission.
Some of those firms then collapsed entirely. Clients were left without representation, without answers, and without a claim.
But here is what many businesses do not know: a missed deadline on your energy claim does not have to be the end. Where the claim was lost because your solicitor failed to act, the law provides a separate route to recovery through a professional negligence claim against the solicitor responsible.
That route also has a time limit. Which is why you need to act now.
Your business was overcharged for energy. You instructed professionals to get that money back. If they failed you, the loss does not have to be yours to carry.
